Here’s a broad overview of major liberal accomplishments in U.S. history:


1. Civil Rights & Social Justice

• Civil Rights Act of 1964: Outlawed segregation and discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
• Voting Rights Act of 1965: Banned discriminatory practices that had been used to suppress African American voters.
• Americans with Disabilities Act (1990): Championed by liberals and passed with bipartisan support, this ensured rights for people with disabilities.
• Marriage Equality (2015): While decided by the Supreme Court, marriage equality was widely supported and advanced by liberal activists and lawmakers.

2. Expanding the Social Safety Net

• Social Security Act (1935): Introduced under FDR’s New Deal, it created pensions for the elderly and unemployment insurance.
• Medicare and Medicaid (1965): Provided healthcare for the elderly and the poor.
• Affordable Care Act (2010): Also known as “Obamacare,” it expanded access to health insurance and reduced the uninsured rate.

3. Workers’ Rights

• Labor Reforms (1930s): The Wagner Act strengthened unions and collective bargaining.
• Minimum Wage Laws: Liberals have generally supported raising the minimum wage and improving worker protections.
• Family and Medical Leave Act (1993): Provided job protection for family or medical emergencies.

4. Environmental Protection

• Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): Established under Nixon but supported by liberals to enforce environmental regulations.
• Clean Air and Clean Water Acts: Strong environmental laws often pushed by liberal lawmakers.
• Paris Climate Agreement: Strongly supported by liberals; the U.S. rejoined under President Biden.

5. Education & Civil Liberties

• Brown v. Board of Education (1954): Though a court case, liberals were central to enforcing desegregation.
• Title IX (1972): Prohibited sex discrimination in federally funded education.
• Student Loan Reform & Support for Public Education: Expansions of Pell Grants and efforts to cancel or reduce student debt.

6. Women’s Rights & Reproductive Freedom

• Roe v. Wade (1973): Though overturned in 2022, this landmark case was a key liberal victory for abortion rights.
• Equal Pay Act (1963): Required equal pay for equal work regardless of sex.
• #MeToo Movement: Liberal advocates have pushed for accountability and protections from sexual harassment.

7. LGBTQ+ Rights

• Repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (2010): Allowed gay and lesbian individuals to serve openly in the military.
• Gender identity protections: Expanded under liberal leadership in federal agencies and in state laws.

8. Technological and Cultural Modernization

• Net Neutrality & Digital Access: Supported by many liberals as a way to ensure equal access to internet services.
• Diversity in Government and Representation: Increasing numbers of women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ individuals in elected positions.

The first two things you listed democrats all voted against.

All my liberals have is subjective bs.

While you have dislocated MAGAT juice flowing down yer chin.

 

[Lumpy 1]

The liberal dystopia where women were repressed in society, which included the 1970s to the past as far as you can see into the past history of male-dominated societies. You might have been taught to be courteous, but you never were taught that they were equal.

I wouldn't consider respected, protected and valued for their unique qualities as repressed.
Low value morally weak women/men will always be disrespected, it's just a fact of life then and now.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Which is total bullshit.

Republican states spend less on education that Democratic states.

We spend plenty on the schools in Chicago.
Not getting a lot for my money.

 

[rightwinger]

The final vote in the Senate was 73-27 in favor of the bill, with 82% of Senate Republicans voting in favor, compared to 69% of Democrats.

You are confusing Democrat/Republican with Liberal/Conservative

In 1964 many Republicans were Liberal while only southern Democrats opposed the bill.
Southern Republicans also opposed Civil Rights

Speaking as a lifelong devoted democrat, I've come to terms the democrats are always wrong, or certainly mostly wrong on everything. I say this on the day In and Out Burger, the best fast food there is, and service, are pulling out of California, link coming...

Why? Because liberal ways simply poison everything, and dumbs us down. At least the hippies with civil rights had character. They built stuff too, while todays liberal tears it down... imagine night time hosts from Johnny Carson to diks blowing politics out their ass, rogue cia directors and such hosting the news, cough, puke. Woke is broke, it rips out the core of everything.

I bought all the scandals my democrats sent me, was even convinced by the party of slavery it was the other guy that is racist. I was seeing my therapist for among other things, yes TDS, like most of my peers. The insurrection, the fraudulent courts, russia, bs impeachments, i bought it all, until it clicked. They're left because they're never right, about anything, and that's the real WOKE.

In-N-Out owner says she’s leaving California, as company plans Tennessee expansion In-N-Out president says she’s leaving California, as company plans Tennessee expansion

Yep. Happened to me many decades ago, when I was in my mid-twenties, during the Monica Lewinsky thing. I didn't care much about any of that drama--but I watched with amazement when Hillary and her band of biddies went all out to destroy any woman who accused Bill of anything.

Once you see what they are you can never unsee it.

I tore up my voter card, registered Democrat at the time, and never looked back.

 

[Mac1958]

Such as?

The biggest problem isn't the people, it's the system that leads to a two party situation which isn't good for anyone.

Yep. Tribe vs. tribe obviously doesn't work.

 

[Votto]

Other than Ovomitcare, you clowns have to go back at least 50 years -often much farther- to claim any sort of "success"....And even at that, the unintended consequences from those fool policies wipe out any alleged gains.

Face it, your party sucks donkey balls.

 

[Moonglow]

All the LEFTISTS can post excuses, but the fact is, the DEMOQUACKS are FU**ED!

They will fight like hell to say they are not, but everyone including them know they are. Doesn't mean it is over, the GOP has full control forever, or that the QUACKS can not surprise us all with a win or 2.

The MIGHTY QUACKS are on the 20 side, of the 20/80 divide, of almost EVERY ISSUE. BUT, NEVER count them out! They can GASLIGHT, and PROPAGANDIZE better than Jossef Goebbels.

What the LEFTISTS need realize is---------> No matter how badly you hate Trump............if you removed the lies..........where would we be today?

Understand, nobody is saying you MUST tell the TRUTH, all anybody is asking, is that the lies go away.

Point is..............we can LOVE our fellow American LEFTISTS, but honestly, they are SCREWED! They need lie like DOGS to go forward, and it is our job to prove, they are LYING through their teeth!

Bury them, lol!

And you LEFTISTS thought this was all about love, and vehicle to allow you to screw us over. NOPE, it is about you getting buried leftists. You chose what you wanted to do, so we all concur! CYA, wouldn't want to be ya-)

Trump lies or lies from all politicians?

Yep. Tribe vs. tribe obviously doesn't work.

He had the Whiskey Rebellion.

Both of them?

 

[hadit]

MAGATs hate being compassionate and caring; they do enjoy being mean and hard-hearted.

Said no one with an above room temperature IQ.

I ate at In-and-Out burger one time, when I was in Modesto in the '80s. We have them here now, but it sucked so bad back then, that I don't give them my business.
