That's because they are no longer your grandparents party they are socialists and look what socialists did to Venezuela once the 4th richest country in the world...rest my case.
But, I thought according liberals online tr Democratic Party is in the best shape it has ever been in and is guaranteed to win the next elections thanks to Trump?
The Democrat party's only real agenda items are Racism and Socialism. Founded to perpetuate Slavery, host to its militant arm, the KKK, and now supporting a different sort of slavery, i.e. the slavery of dependence on OPM (Other People's Money), yet the have the gall to paint their opponents with the brush they use on themselves before they dress.
Look at bums like Hillary, Obama, Schumer, Pelosi. A rogue's gallery of America-hating trailer trash, well-heeled from the payola and skim they shake America down for..
"...provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare..."
The government IS responsible for providing national defense, but has no such responsibility to provide health care or any other means of public assistance program benefits. It says so right there in the preamble.
Mistakes like your interpretation happen when one lacks reading comprehension skills.
Actually insulting someone in the fashion you just did shows a very low intelligence profile and an inability to reason.
'Promote general welfare' means just that. The United States should PROMOTE the well being of their citizenry, i.e. they exist to serve.
In what manner or capacity is debatable, but seeing as though there exists an intersection of healthy citizens and commerce, defense etc, it is a reasonable argument.
Whether you agree or not is not a reason to cast ill aspersions.

How else would anyone misconstrue promote as provide? The only explanation is lack of reading comprehension skills.

It means promote, not provide. They're two very different words. For example, TV advertisements promote products. They don't provide the products to TV watchers.

Umm, I think we are confusing the Preamble, which is not an article.
It says-
Quote:
The first clause of Article I, Section 8, reads, "The Congress shall have Power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States."
Provide means PROVIDE. They will PROVIDE a Navy, They will PROVIDE calling for the militia (military) for...
Promote means PROMOTE. The only citation of the word promote found in Article I, Section 8 is this-
"To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;"
The Articles are what are laws are founded on. The Preamble does not confer powers or rights- the Articles do, which is precisely why I said- "It is debatable".
I'll leave it at that. I'm all for a robust and affordable health care system for a number of reasons.

Recognize fakes. Especially recognize whataboutism.

I think the Democrat party is awesome. Go Maxine Waters, Elizabeth Warren, Keith Ellison, and Barack Obama! I think the Dem leaders along with spokespeople for the party such as Symone Sanders and Howard Dean are great. RESIST.
If Maxine Waters and Fauxahontas Warren team up to run as a team in 2020 I would donate $10 to their campaign.
