    Today, RFK called them all out for taking big pharma money.

    Right to Bernie’s face

    Nook. The 1966 election was a backlash to civil rights act being passed which only had a slim approval. Medicare at the time was polling in the 70%.

    Again. Great society actually helped millions. They expanded the safety net. Nothing trump does help the middle class. His trade war and tariffs only **** the middle class and he does nothing to encourage domestic manufacturing.

    But im saying, doesn’t there have to be significant benefit to the working class/poor (aka over 90% Americas population) for him to viewed as an all time great?

    Yeah - most of them don't.

    I think Sanders does and Porter.... but most of the Democrats are more concerned about making their dinner date with a donor.

    I never said the Great Society didn't help millions.... the level of Americans living in poverty fell by like 50% within a decade.

    Civil Rights was a big part of The Great Society.

    What?

    I'm not sure why you are dancing around this. I quoted you so wouldn't have to go through the trouble of remembering of what you typed versus what you think you said. You made your point very clear. Trump was very clear in who he was initially attempting to blame. It's not some liberal made up ****. I'm just quoting you man lol.

    Probably? What I am saying is that we don't know what the long-term impact of what he is doing actually will be. It could be catastrophic or it could have surprisingly positive outcomes. The level of power and ambition that he has can lead to some outcomes that are unexpected --

    Trump is banning medicare from negotiating lower prices you braindead individual. You dont give a crap about big pharma or you wouldn't support the guy letting big pharma steal from medicare.

    Its just the dumbest lowest iq cult of all time

    Those were from individual contributors, not the corporations or the executives themselves. He didnt have a point.

    How was he a DEI hire?

    He was (and is still) the CEO of a major airport, and was the CEO of the LA Metro before that... and if I remember correctly, he was also involved with the USDOT.

    I can see making an argument that he got offered the job because of his close allegiance with Biden.... but he had a lot of experience in the realm of transportation and running organizations.

    Bernie sanders and Porter regulators are those who have been in power for the past 4 years. Lina khan at the ftc and rohit chopra the 2 most powerful regulators were both bernie alum.

    You keep talking about, "most dems" but Bernie’s people were the ones in charge for the past 4 years

    If that's the case why did Trump fire all of bidens appointees at the NLRB and EEOC? Unions pushed for them to stay in place as they claim the NLRB was most pro worker under biden than any point in modern history.

    I love these braindead talking points that "both parties are the same" but if that's the case why did trump fire all of bidens appointees who unions pushed to keep

    Bernie and his people are not the majority of politicians or democrats.... he has never even been the nominee. There are a lot of people in Washington that cannot relate to and do not understand blue collar workers or lower class families.

    Bernies people were those in charge. You keep deflecting and talking about majority of dems but those individuals in power the past 4 years were progressives fighting for working class people. Who gives a **** what some random dem politician thinks when bernie folks were those in charge

    One thing I noticed is that most right-wing people seem to love America, proudly displaying American flags, while many leftists seem to hate it. No American flags. If anything, rainbow, Palestine, whatever.

    Right wingers loving America is the funniest **** ever. You losers spent the past 4 years worshipping russia and putin. Tucker just did an entire episode on how great life was in Russia.

    The only thing right wingers know how to do is lie and spew conspiracie. Low iq disingenuous people
