You may not like that it takes 100 years to pass some watered down social welfare program because of the constitution but that's also what protects us from dictatorship [some dumb slob does dictatorship in 6 months]

When dems get power if they don’t pass the biggest welfare package since FDR I’m done with politics entirely

The slob doesn't even have the Mandate of Heaven and theyre claiming he has the Imperial Seal, what kind of world do we live in where peasants have more skepticism than scholars!?

Our current situation has been 50 years in the making. The Right has been playing the long game and the combination of political climate, GOP control in both Chambers, and a malignant narcissistic in the Oval Office is a perfect storm for some good ol’ authoritarianism.

10,000 to 50,000 wrongful arrests are made each year, police funding is higher than anywhere else in the world, and the police still aren't held to any reasonable standard or expected to protect and serve the people, equality hasn't been achieved politically, socially, or economically...

I could go on, but I think the point is clear. The US is tragically behind the rest of the Western world by every measure. And the problem is that Americans are so beaten into acceptance of this bull shit, that they think every performative action made is some ground-breaking act of progress.

Just a little tack on here. 1. If saying true things makes Dems look bad, that's on them. 2. Anyone convinced not to vote for an entire party based on a social media post wasn't going to vote anyway. 3. I'm not getting paid to incentivize voters. That would be elected politicians. Go whine at them.

"We would never let some idiot king take power with divine mandate, like those superstitious peasants in medieval Europe," we chortle merrily as state tv rebroadcasts Trump's promise to "look very strongly into the First Amendment."

Things moved fast right after the Great Depression. FDR set top tax rates to 90% and instituted both Wellfare and Social Security. This great transfer of wealth to the bottom created a robust middle class. It has taken the billionaires 90 years to destroy that. We can move fast when motivated.

This is the problem with the Great Man approach to history. FDR didn’t do it by himself.

We should be fine. The Second Amendment may have cost us a lot of toddlers, but it does guarantee protection from tyranny.

I am an originalist. I look at the original meaning of the constitution. There is simply no support for the idea that women have a legal right to say no to me when I ask them on a date.

FDR's lack of concern for the way things were done took him to bad places sometimes, but it's hard not to long for someone willing to push the system to the limit for the sake of doing useful things.

The riff raff couldn’t possibly get mad that nothing ever gets done in DC. Judging by all the gentlemanly slavers I know, people hate it when we change things.
