Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

That's really what much of the conservative agenda boils down to.
I'm honestly surprised they didn't spike the GI Bill over deep concerns about how the "undeserving" (Blacks) might have benefited, too. Turns out they worked very hard to withhold those benefits from Blacks, but didn't nuke the whole thing.
I wouldn't be surprised to see similar things happen if Taco were to somehow fall ass-back into single payer (he was talking like a single payer advocate last week, whether he knew it or not, LOL) - whites get the benefits, POC get zillions of hurdles and excuses, at least as a general rule.
They didn't have a choice. As FDR said, "The New Deal is the only option that America has to prevent socialism from taking root in the US for the next 100 years." It was absolutely a threat to the GOP, but he knew it for the bandaid that it was.
The GOP didn't listen, and have successfully torn the whole thing down in a mere 80 years, and democratic socialism looks pretty good to well over 70% of the US, they just won't agree with that label. The policies they will.
