let’s be real this is being nitpicky cuz even if you’re right most of us cats were babies or eggs in reagans time. I’m old as fuck and i didn’t even get to vote till bill Clinton
No, I don’t think it’s nitpicky, and I think it’s relevant to modern day political discourse. It demonstrates that progressive policies and positions are a viable political strategy for the democratic party. I think it’s important to stress this, because a lot of liberals today feel like courting the right is the only way to possibly win an election for the democrats. Stating “always have been” plays into this delusion, and it’s good to remind ourselves that it’s a complete and utter falsehood.
