You made a mistake and think the present party system was the same back than.
Nixon actually presented a Health Care Plan
Nixon's Words “Without adequate health care, no one can make full use of his or her talents and opportunities. It is thus just as important that economic, racial and social barriers not stand in the way of good health care as it is to eliminate those barriers to a good education and a good job.”

- ansible 5y agoNixon was also quite racist. The War on Drugs targeted minority groups. There's a lot that could be written about all this.

- ansible 5y agoBiden is moving in the right direction though.
- mc32 5y agoBiden has two advantages, one he is not dead, two, he's in a position to show change. It's possible given the same circumstance, messrs. Clinton and Nixon would arrive at the same place.

- coolreader18 5y ago> By that logic and reasoning Joe Biden and his crime bill and Bill Clinton who signed it into law are much bigger and effective racists Well, sure.
- ansible 5y agoYep. It is up to everyone to keep up the pressure on the current administration for further reforms, and to create a more fair and just society. The struggle isn't over. The struggle is never over.
