When they called it the "New Deal"

what does the word "Deal" mean?

One party exchanges something,

in exchange for some other thing.

The billionaires had to give a lot of money.

What did they receive in exchange?

Harry Reid is NOT dead. The Las Vegas Airport might be named after him, but (so far) it wouldn't be posthumous.

Yeah, that would be on par for the course and would be part of the plan for the dems since they're primary goal would to be get a nice pat on the head from capital. My main worry would be the increasingly insane and fascist republicans would realize helping, even if a little, would be best for them and becoming something of a populist party.

I am curious about a time when a populist party caused effective change in the government. Could such a thing happen now? I am reminded of a time when our president FDR coined the term "New DEAL" and I wonder what that means to you during the current crises

so-called right-wing "populists" like Hawley are ultimately too self-aware and too tied to a donor base to make more than just noises towards throwing scraps of a welfare state to the people

EDIT: I suppose this doesn't preclude the possibility of them winning elections regardless just on the back of making such promises, and then not doing them

Pretty sure what it means to me is what I already posted. I have no clue what the DEAL would be based off of the 1000s of variables at play but it would be massively better with someone actually critical of capital at the head rather than a party that views America owns the world.
