Was it liberals or conservatives that fought the most to end slavery, get rid of sweatshps, get women the vote, end segregation, and enact social security.

Actually, it was Republicans that did some of those things.......

Democrats have used their minority base as enslaved voters to keep Democrat politicians in power. Lib politicians, like drug pushers, encourage dependency (on the government) rather than healthy independence. for over a century Dems have bought minority votes with their gov handouts--that's merely self-serving--not admirable humanitarianism as you try to portray it.

Associations for me as well with the political scene. That close observation has made it clear that leftist Democrats do not recognize political reality, rather they see merely paths to reelection. Libs crave power and are ruthless in it's pursuit. That's why Obama today will say anything, change any position in order to achieve personal power.
