The relevant pivot points were when we extended the additional subsidies in 2022 and the 2024 elections.

You are expecting Democrats to do in the minority what we didn't do when we had a majority (admittedly a very narrow one). If you can't present a case for how we were going to get what you want through holding out, it's not really fair to blame others for taking a different path since from what I can see the odds were zero either way.
