Even though this would be a win for all Americans – and humanity – it apparently did not outweigh the politics of making a Democrat look good. This is the definition of party over country.
I’m a doctor.So is my mother. When she got cancer, I realized how little that mattered.
Republicans have stated budget cuts need to be made with an ever-growing debt. But where was this attitude when tax cuts for the wealthy were on the table in 2017? They don’t have to look at patients in the eye and break the devastating news that they have cancer. They don’t have to treat cancers that block intestines or drown a patient’s lungs in fluid.
I’d say when FDR replaced Henry Wallace with the more right-leaning Truman.
Wallace wanted to pass a civil rights bill.
Truman dropped nuclear bombs on 2 civilian cities and was more interested in kick-starting the red scare than expanding upon the programs and policies FDR clearly laid out in his last days on literal record as president with things like a proposed 2nd Bill of Rights.
You can also assign some more blame to FDR for not having the masterminds of the Business Plot hanged.
WW2 was all about bombing civilian cities.
London, Dresden, they were all targets. Bombs and war were much less precise then. Taking out manufacturing capability was a valid tactic and part of that meant killing workers.
