What, if anything, has the left been right about in the last 85 years?

The Bund wanted us to support Nazi Germany, for starters.

Obama famously warned, “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to frick things up.”

LBJ was right that he’d have black people voting D for 200 years.

Vietnam and Iraq. They were correct to be against the Vietnam War. JFK was resisting the MIL-loving neocon's fervor to ramp things up, which could be one reason why the corrupt Political Establishment assassinated him. One of the biggest crooks in American history, Lyndon Johnson, used the False Flag of the Gulf of Tonkin incident to basically go to war with Vietnam (Johnson was a Democrat, but I'm saying that it was the grassroots lefties who were correct to protest Vietnam. They HATED LBJ).

The Left was also correct to protest the invasion of Iraq. They were correct to call George W. Bush and Dick Cheney war criminals.

But, fast-forward 20 years and the Left was ECSTATIC when the very same warmonger Dick Cheney, along with his toxic little tater-tot daughter Lizard Cheney, endorsed Kamala Harris for President.

What happened to cause the Left to stop PROTESTING the man and start Protecting the man? Barack Hussein Obama. Obama conned the Left into believing that the corrupt Political Establishment was, in reality, their SAVIOR.

JFK would be running as an independent in today’s political climate.

1) How to run the economy.
2) trickle-down economics is a scam for the rich
3) civil rights and voting rights act
4) Medicare and Medicaid

You may need to look up data

Sure you'll say it fake tho.

And I'm also curious, are there still people who think trickle-down economics work?

voting rights act

Correct at the time, but needs to be mostly repealed. Everything relevant to today’s political climate is already covered by other laws or explicit constitutional protection.

One of the biggest problems in our government today is that we never take ANYTHING off the books. Enormous contributing factor to our fiscal and political situations.

This is a big one in hindsight. Personally I think they're correct on a couple of issues but they're largely inconsequential so that probably doesn't fit the question.

Well, both Vietnam and Iraq caused huge damage. A couple of generations were deeply and adversely affected by those manufactured wars.

Wrong. I hate how distorted history has become.

Dems were and still remain the party of Jim Crow, segregation, and no civil rights.

Every time I hear this I can't help but think of that dumb bitch that was representing Amber Heard in the Johnny Depp trial.

Usually followed by "'Why, if anything' is not a cure-all" from the judge

You know what does work? Getting off your arse, working hard and not relying on government help. I have made money no matter who is in office.

The problem is not that trickle down doesn't work. The problem is that the dimtards won't reduce spending when we cut taxes.
