You're stuck in old politics, and look where it's gotten us.
As a very old liberal Democrat, I tell you that the seeds for a complete financial meltdown and wars for oil and other resources were planted before Bush-Cheney & during each administration going back to Reagan. And actually, before that, back to Nixon, when today's Republicans got their start (but if you really want to be precise, we can go back to the beginning of last century, and the discovery of oil in the Middle East).
We were put on this path by a push for unrestrained & unregulated capitalism and privatization of Americans' resources, and all of the politicians of the last 40+ years, on both sides of the aisle, knew it and did nothing about it. Worse, they signed on to the false narratives spun to l!e the American people into voting for that which is NOT in their best interests, but in the interests of the very rich and powerful.
They allowed corporations to game our political system, & corporations have managed to game it so effectively that the two-party system competes to serve corporate interests while defending that service as, "What's good for GM (corporations) is good for America (We, The People)".
Democrats (controlled by the DLC, which is important to remember) and Republicans are corporate t00Is. Like siblings competing for the attention and approval (campaign contributions) of a parent, Republicans and DLC-controlled Democrats try to outdo each other in delivering for their real constituent, transnational corporations. The trick for them has been to make it seem as if they were really working on behalf of We, The People.
