I’m thrilled you got affordable healthcare, but it’s not good enough.

It never is for complainers.

I want parties who push for free healthcare.

Then you're onboard with reality, right? The reality that big things don't happen magically and instantly. They take many small steps. Much more affordable healthcare was a step in that direction. You will absolutely not get "free" healthcare instantly. It will happen through numerous baby-step bills passed over a significant amount of time.

Does me supporting Claudia de la Cruz mean Trump gets into office?

Yes.

Maybe in the short term, but I don’t care about “banning medical debt from showing up on credit reports”

Then you're not very old. Because anyone who's actually an adult knows that's a huge fucking deal and not something we've seen ANY administration talk about in the past, much less do. One of those baby-steps I just mentioned.

I can always tell when I'm talking to someone young on these platforms because they always demand instant gratification because they haven't learned that big things take baby-steps and a whole lot of patience. Too bad we just wiped out an untold number of baby-steps by giving total power to Republicans by doing stupid things like not voting or voting 3rd party in a presidential election.

Maybe you're too old to realize these baby steps aren't producing results and it's time to bring out the real deal.

What the Dems compete in two terms the Republicans undo in one. You really think you're doing anything except supporting the status quo?
