The Democrats’ Radical Agenda

For the 2020 election, Democrats are proposing policies of sweep and ambition not seen since the New Deal or the Great Society. Ideas that would have seemed radical even five years ago — publicly funded college, a Green New Deal, Medicare for All — are now at the top of many candidates’ platforms.

Most intriguing: As once-fringe ideas enter the mainstream debate, they are proving popular. “Medicare for All is supported by at least 55 percent of the public,” says Sean McElwee, a co-founder of the progressive think tank Data for Progress. “So why is that treated as an extreme position?” By offering visionary reforms for a defective democracy, a foundering middle class, the climate crisis and a system rigged for the wealthiest, progressives hope to inspire an electorate whose anger helped propel a strongman like Donald Trump to power.

Ambition my ass. Who can give away the most free crap.

RS uses the term “radical” when the correct philosophy behind what Dems are proposing is “communism.”

90% of senior citizens on Medicare do not know that a Premium is deducted from their Social Security check.

So is it any surprise that people don’t know that Santa Claus is real?
