> My point is that the democratic party blocked public health care for the US.
That's not what you wrote. You specifically referred to Hillary and "the Clintons", not the Democratic Party as a whole.
Hillary was simply observing the practical reality that they would not have been able to get the necessary votes to pass single payer. Conservative Democratic and "centrist" (codeword for conservative) senators like Joe Lieberman, Ben Nelson, Max Baucus and others would not have supported single payer. They didn't even support a much milder public option.
> It is important to point out though, that the last opportunity to establish single-payer healthcare in the US was prevented by the democratic party.
There is some ambiguity in that sentence: by "last", I don't mean that it was the final opportunity, I mean it was the most recent previous opportunity.
Also, to your last point:

We're totally in agreement on that, and that was my intended point: the DEMs, and specifically the Clinton's were representing the right-wing perspective on the issue.
The DNC has become even more right-wing since then, following the RNC right, as it went off the cliff into MAGA fantasy land...
