You have a very specific definition of any legislative success.
Not particularly, as I said I believe some of those bills were decent successes, but they wont win votes from working americans. When it comes to winning votes and enacting change you need to accomplish demonstrable improvements to our lives. And yes that list will continuously change as more and more things are improved. That’s a good thing.
Do you have something more recent that 1939?
smile do you? do you see the problem with the fact you need to go back that far to find anything that helps American’s that you think I’ll accept. The list I mentioned above isn’t some unattainable goal. many countries already have accomplished these things for their people.

I don’t need to. I see lots of things, including the ACA, that helped working Americans. However, you say that doesn’t by your measure. So I’m asking you to give an example of your measure to better understand your point of view. Thats how we learn about each other’s views when they aren’t apparent.
The list I mentioned above isn’t some unattainable goal.
So it sounds like you’re saying nothing has been passed in the USA in the last 85 years since FDR’s New Deal that qualifies for your measure of “helping working Americans”.

Okay, thank you. That informs me of your position. I appreciate the time you’ve taken to share your views.
I didnt say you needed to. I was asking if you could think of any. that was the point.
we clearly disagree on ACA. it, like many bills such as PACT, have limited impact on the american worker. its only real win was ending absolutely inhuman practices from the insurance industry, but even those practices only impacted a small minority. the insurance markets it set up are an absolute mess of overpriced trash and the resulting system it created where insurance companies benefit by paying hospitals/pharma more for care.
These type of bills shouldn’t be hard to recognize which is why you having issues pointing to any is so damning. I would have put student loan forgiveness in the category if it actually got done, or a min wage increase, or anything from the list i mentioned. but you wont find anything remotely comparable for almost 80 years.

You’re asking me about what passed legislation I believe meets your vague generalizations of approval? What kind of game is that? You still haven’t answered the question and we’re on the third time I would be asking it with me still only guessing the New Deal meets your measure.
I don’t actually care about trying to tease your answer out of you anymore. The best I can tell is that you haven’t liked anything in the last 85 years. Its too much effort to try to figure out more from you on that. Its enough to tell me everything I needed to know about your position. You’re welcome to your opinion and position. I’m not interested in learning any more about about it though. You’re welcome to continue to reply to this, but I’m I won’t be engaging anymore. Have a great day!
