Right, because late stage capitalism was working so flawlessly prior to Trump.

You're right, its exponentially worse.

That make you happy?

So you want to return to the conditions that led to an exponentially worse situation?

That's precisely what a party of controlled opposition would do.

To answer the question, no. I don't think the establishment democrats should be running the country either. They're just the MUCH better of two evils though. I'd prefer new age politicians to be the leaders.

But, do you honestly think Trumps administration didn't materially contribute to making those conditions worse themselves? They basically made the hole so deep it will make it difficult to crawl out of in the first place.

They basically made the hole so deep it will make it difficult to crawl out of in the first place. I agree it made conditions worse. I never denied that. But I'm also looking at the entire chain of events which led to it. "Lesser of two evils" "voting" literally got us to this point. How could it possibly get us out of it? "Voting" in scare quotes because as the uniparty link explains, in addition to Dems proving they can't run fair primaries etc, democracy is illusory when corrupted by capital interests.
