Democrats, and Republicans, could learn a thing or two about how to pass legislation from Mary Katherine Ham.
For example, her Obamacare “rant” is spot on:
PSA: I get emotional/effective way to sell your preferred hcr system is say it will serve everyone perfectly & all who disagree <3 ppl dying

You mean you don’t have to terrify people to buy into your policies? Get outta here.
But from those who ended up on the bad side of those lies when Obamacare passed (& predicted it & were called liars), maybe chill on it.

Facts speak louder than emotions. But if we aren’t scaring the crap out of people they’ll never follow along!
Me in '16: I've lost 4 plans, premium doubled, deductible tripled, indiv. market down to 1 choice most places. Them: Probably a lying hack.

Me in '12: https://t.co/1ULWQ36wli people don't look like they have time and ability to make this thing in time. Them: Fear-mongering hack.
— Mary Katharine Ham (@mkhammer) May 4, 2017
Anyone who spoke out against Obamacare, especially in a pundit-capacity, was treated poorly and called hacks.
Among other things.
So, since I was not a lying hack, & don't try to sell you utopian b.s. about any system, I ask you do me the same courtesy.

But Democrats WANT to believe Obamacare is a utopian system … that’s their biggest problem. Well that and being overly-emotional and reactive about EVERYTHING Trump says or does.
And honestly Ham proves she is no hack because she’s NOT falling in line with the GOP’s Obamacare “do-over”:

Yes, unfortunately that's rarely the fair response I receive. Notice I'm not arguing vociferously on behalf of it.

If I were a hack, I'd do so without caring if my assessment was right. I think there are likely possibilities of marginal improvement.

Boom.
My team is the Detroit Lions. And yeah, there's usually reason to be angry at them.

We kinda sorta love Mary Katharine Ham and aren’t afraid to say so.
