They have been buying votes and power since Johnson's Great Society mistake. And the collective Right let them do it. Both sides are guilty!
“They have been buying votes and power since Johnson’s Great Society mistake...”
Generally, I don’t debate politics with liberals. It’s not because I can’t articulate my views as well as defend them. Usually, it’s just a waste of time.
But several years ago, I said to a white liberal “You know, many of you have no real interest in solving poverty, reducing single-mother pregnancies, etc. If you did, you’d have no one who’d vote Democrat. You essentially provide programs that really don’t give anyone a helping hand up. You develop and maintain prgrams that keep classes of people dependent on you.”
The guy looked at me like I was on mushrooms and after a minute said “Well, you may have something there”.
I doubt I converted him but hopefully, I gave him some food for thought.
