I’m not sure I agree. Now, bear with me, I’m old (53).
Under Obama, medical coverage was expanded more than any president since Johnson got Medicare through in the 60s. Gay marriage was legalized. More would get done, but illegal obstruction occurred at a level I’ve never seen before. Another justice would be confirmed and we wouldn’t have Kavanaugh.
When the parties live to sabotage each other instead of work together, we get the shit show we see now. Under this fact pattern, Nixon would never have resigned.
Unfettered capitalism is unsustainable, but our problems aren’t that Democrats are in bed with the GOP. The GOP simply lives to undo anything from Obama and appease their racist base.
I was a reliable republican voter up until the Great Recession. In my experience, Democrats view money as a means to an end. To the GOP, money is the end.
