I suppose some do, but no one’s actively promoting that. Are they? The record is pretty clear by all accounts.
If the record was clear, people wouldn't still be talking about Kennedy when they talk about civil rights. And yet they do. All the time. Actively.
I'm not sure why you don't think politicians reach back to their predecessors and talk about how amazing they were when it constantly happens. With Democrats, it's Kennedy. With Republicans, it's Reagan.

I dunno how we got here from couch-fucking memes, but, okay?
Cool. One sentence that is a mild criticism of what actually happened.
Thank you for proving my point.
Please do show me the next link about how the Soviets started the Cuban Missile Crisis.
There’s more in the paragraphs before about their unwillingness to pursue civil rights legislation. Suffice to say it was more nuanced than “JD Vance fucked a couch”.
What’s your point again?
My point was that most Democrats think Kennedy was 100% for civil rights regardless of what website you might find says. They also think he saved the world by resolving the Cuban Missile Crisis without knowing he started it.
Because they believe things that aren't true.
So, what you’re saying PBS is pretending Kennedy supported civil rights in the documented speech he gave supporting civil rights which was praised by people including John Lewis as a watershed moment for civil rights? I mean sure, you can prove anything with facts.
And you’re saying Kennedy started the Cuban Missile Crisis by moving nukes into Turkey?
Nope. I’m not saying anything about PBS. How about you actually read my posts?
I thought I was!
Is English not your first language? Do you not know what "regardless" means?
