The Democratic Party is looking to include reparations in their 2022 platform, along with Medicare for all United States residents, and free higher education that is fully paid for by American taxpayers. In an exclusive report by the Washington Free Beacon, Democrats and liberal donors are pushing for an even further left agenda by 2022. That agenda was revealed during the Democracy Alliance’s latest conference called “Way to Win: 2022 Victory Party,” which featured guests such as the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) Chairman Tom Perez, former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, and Democratic Georgia candidate for governor, Stacey Abrams.
The Free Beacon noted that the invitation for the gathering read:
It’s 2022 and we are celebrating policy victories across the nation: Medicare for All and Free College, and next on the agenda is Reparations.
Because we’re governing with gusto, we’re seeing victories up and down the ballot—including winning a governorship in Texas and putting 38 electoral votes in grasp by 2024.
Stop in 2020 and 2019 when local power builders turned Arizona and Florida solidly blue and established Virginia as a progressive governance juggernaut.
The event was co-hosted by not only a slew of liberal organizations, like the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, but also the Center for Popular Democracy, an open borders lobbying organization funded by globalist left-wing billionaire George Soros.

I think the democrats should include the following three items as the top three “planks” in their platform for any/all upcoming elections:
1) Guaranteed Universal Income
2) Repeal the 2nd Amendment
3) Reparations for slavery
Meanwhile, I’ll be investing in companies that make popcorn...
Exactly!
I do not think the blacks understand what the word “Reparations” means.
The definition is that a debt is fully paid. If they get “Reparations it means there is no longer a need for Affirmative Action, Minority Set-Asides, and they can no longer whine about White privilege.
To pay reparations would mean that all historic racial grievances were settled.
They also don’t understand how the economy works. If they give every Black $1,000,000 and call it even then several things happen.
1. As with lottery winners, a sizable percentage would blow through it in a couple of years. They’d end up nop better off.
2. Such payments would induce inflation and the buying power of the money would be watered down. THey’d end up no better off.
3. Because the debt is paid they would no longer be offered placement in universities because of their skin color.
I’m not sure they’d want reparations if they were offered.
They are fantasizing that they won in 2020 and are celebrating their “policy victories” two years later.
You better bet I'm going to be applying for my reparations check!
“I strongly support adding this to their platform. Nothing could be better.”
Don’t be so sure. We are now approaching equilibrium, in fact may have passed it, where the Takers outnumber the Makers. In other words, there’s more people riding in the wagon than there are pulling the wagon. So, the Free Stuff platform may very well sell....
Do they know the next Presidential election is in 2020?
We need to donate clown noses and knee pads.
They should be clear that they also mean reparations for all of the generations of illegals,(the ones we used to call wet-backs) for not being granted full citizenship the very moment they snuck into the country.
Have you noticed on the demographic question - the option - White or White, not Hispanic or Latin?
There is no insanity purer than that brought on by the no-cure, chronic mental disease of liberalism. It’s a 100% pure....nothing else comes close....not even Ivory soap....LOL.
Or they can’t remember the schedule.
If democrats WERE elected they would decide ‘the rich’ (meaning white middle class families) have enough AND the 'guaranteed income' would only applies to members of democrat victim groups.
Only a fool would fall for the lies democrats put out.
Probably, but they certainly don't want THEIR candidate to have to run for President against The Donald with that sure-fired loser as a part of their platform ...
Just don't lie to people, tell them to write a check for 10% of their gross income (every year) if they like this proposal
Dream on, Dems... Dream on..
Pretend we’re students at a university....reparations for who/what? It could be for any number of things that took place in our history. Why are they not saying what is meant by it???
Reparations - free college education - Medicare for everyone. Sounds like a plan EXCEPT whose going to pay for all of it? Soros????? Sure...
Let’s pass a law that says from now on anyone with a bright idea like this is going to be responsible for funding it!!!!!
99.5% of all American whites have ZERO lineage to slave masters. 0, zip, nada. Tell racist democrats their bigotry is ugly.
But whites were enslaved and White Reparations should be first and foremost.
“”Their thinking often clears up when they have explained to them what all those pesky deductions on their paycheck are for.””
That’s assuming they even know what a paycheck is or what the word “deductions” means....
