The disgraceful Supreme Court justice should be held accountable for his actions but probably won’t.

Because one of the parties is better for lifting people up. Like, immeasurably better.

I won’t even say which one I think it is. You can decide for yourself.

show me these people who have been lifted up?

statistics point towards largely more poor people, worse health, more debt, less home ownership. who was lifted up and when?

What statistics show that social safety nets lead to those things?

I’ll save you time: they don’t exist

Just look at the amount of people living in poverty in the 40’s and early 50’s, then the democrats started the “war on poverty” and started these programs and 70 years later, the number of people living in poverty has continued to rise

Just look at the number of people living in poverty those stats aren’t hard to find.

More people are living in poverty in the US today than they were 70 years ago

You’d think after 20+ trillion dollars spent, the record on poverty would be much much better
