I think that Bill Clinton has much to answer for with the current state of the Democratic Party. He was elected as a generational change candidate, and rather than turning the page on the Reagan revolution's direct assault on the American middle and working classes, he tinkered around the edges but basically embraced the foundations of supply-side economics, the "war on drugs" and the mass incarceration of mostly African-Americans.
Ironically, in my opinion, I think Hillary would have been a much better president than Bill was. (A comparison, not an endorsement.) With Biden, he was a shitty campaigner obviously, but as a president I think he was more consequential than Obama. Biden never had Obama's massive legislative majority of 2008, and Biden faced a 6-3 extremist Supreme Court constantly undercutting his legislative initiatives, Obama only had a 5-4 Court to deal with.
History doesn't give us a do over, and if it did, and Biden had spent the last two years of his presidency being transitional like he said he would be, and promoting the next generation of leadership, 2024 election would have been a different story. So a reminder to elected politicians, as much as politics is about you, it's not about you and Jim Clyburn - retire, Maxine Waters - retire, Chuck Schumer - retire.
It is an us versus a they/them election. And the they/them is the billionaire bros at the trough lapping up billions in untendered government contracts. As much as the Israeli War (why are we calling it the Iran War - they didn't start it) is about covering up the Epstein files. It's also a big insider trading scandal with billions of dollars wor.th of stock trading happening MOMENTS before some insane announcement from the TACO Incompetent.
