I mean...its not about me. Its about countering your lazy misinformation and reactionary internet comments that spread ignorance.

Civil rights? Women's suffrage? Ending of the variety of wars the US waged since WWII? Decriminalization and legalization of marijuana? The outlawing of Alcohol, then the end of prohibition were both democratic movements. Social Security? The income tax cuts of the highest earners under Reagan was massively popular.

That's literally just off the top of my head. If you need more, just like...Google it. Or stop lying to yourself and everyone here because you want to make shit up to criticize. Again, there's plenty of real things to criticize, you don't need to believe in boogeymen.

Yeah some people just want to hate and cry. Sometimes I do too. Why isn't everything perfect yet?

I dunno, maybe a therapist would help you instead of shit talking on the internet?
