Can you, JGW, tell me what universal programs the democratic party has passed in the last 30-40 years?

Without means testing?

You keep referring to them as if they're some amorphous non-human entity from outer space. "The Democratic Party" is people, and apparently, largely composed of PEOPLE WHO ARE every bit as terrified as Republicans, although for vastly different reasons.

Republicans are terrified that old angry rich white Christian people are becoming irrelevant, and they're willing to burn it all down if that turns out to be the case.

Democrats (establishment Dems) are terrified that Republican messaging is stronger and angrier than theirs, that people will believe Republican messaging ABOUT THEM.

Ergo "We can't have nice things".
HINT: That started forty years ago.
We should have begun pumping Greek Fire at their ships forty years ago.
