I’m asking for some real honesty. I’m asking for folks to dig deep and put aside their political leanings for one moment.
Has the Left or Democrats EVER done anything right?
I’m not just talking ‘morally’ right. We know the answer to that.
Have they ever done anything that, when implemented wasn’t a complete and utter disaster?
Look—this is not a time for blaming our wonderful leaders.
At this very moment they are huddled together in meetings trying to make the most important decisions of their lives—
Do they save the rainbow flags at the Kabul embassy or do they burn them?
;-)
The democrats have done two things right in my lifetime that I can think of.
One: Clinton told insurance companies that they have to allow women 48 hours in the hospital after giving birth rather than 24, if they so desire. I was kicked out after 24 hours with my first, pre-Clinton, and was allowed to stay 48 hours with my next three. It’s a huge difference, those extra 24 hours with a new baby recovering from childbirth in a hospital with nurses around. I’m forever grateful to Clinton for that, the best and most practical thing a democrat policy change has ever done for me.
And I do have to say that the heavy LA smog of the 1970s (when I moved away) had gotten a lot better by the 1990s, after Clean Air Act changes. But now of course it’s all smoky with wildfires, due to Dem mismanagement, so. . . so much for that.
And I’ll add that (before my lifetime) the Shirtwaist fire in NY did lead to Dem’s efforts toward unionization and protections for workers so they didn’t have to die in fires on the job. That was important. But those unions have now long since outlasted their usefulness.
Manhattan Project and the decision to drop the bombs on Japan to end WWII. That’s about it.
I actually can’t. However I can’t really think of too many things the GOP has done, especially lately that they’ve done right. Interstate Highway System. Columbia River Project?
