Have I been out of the loop on politics?
Wasn’t it the Dems who voted to protect Union Pensions? Republicans voted against it.
Dems voted to extend the child tax credit this year. EVERY Republican voted against it.
And didn’t Kamala Harris run on helping with funding for first time home buyers?
When did the narrative of Dems being against the working class start? Was it just because Bernie said it recently?
Support for slavery before the Civil War
Carter’s airline deregulation
Clinton’s welfare “reform” and NAFTA
Obama’s finance sector bailout
Biden blocking a national rail strike
Clinton repealing glass steagall
Democrats used to be the conservative party before Nixon (my timing might be off) said “Hold my beer” and turned the Republicans into the regressive Christian theocracy it is today.
So, the civil war thing doesn’t really count because it was a different party with different ideals under the same name.
You think FDR was the conservative party?
He threw 100,000 innocent American citizens into concentration camps
He might be as close to a communist we have ever had with the New Deal, granting the right to unionize, Social Security, and all kinds of labor protections.
Obama student loan reforms.
Isn’t that when student loans became bankruptcy proof and death or payoff became the only legal ways to be rid of them?Nvm those changes occured in different phases from 1976 through 2005.
That was Bush I think, maybe Clinton.
But Obama followed similar anti peasant practices.
My gripe is that his loosey policy was essentially charity for schools since now they were able to charge whatever they wanted and they did.
Millenials bags are super heavy. Many are unlikely to pay it off and will face a tax bill once the loans are forgiven once they turn 50🤡
So much life wasted for no reason but to fund boomers lifestyle
