Seems important for America to internalize this lesson, too.

There are many takeaways from this, but it does show how one monster at the top can destroy a country’s global standing in a very short time, possibly for generations.

This is the problem. Policies enacted by every president since Reagan, brought us to this point. Clinton gutted the middle class with NAFTA Obama didn‘t want to „upset the social order“ by going after bankers 2016 DNC - if Bernie wins „our“ market crashes Ultra wealthy doesn‘t fit with democracy

Destruction is easy. Pope Leo has a.great quote on the subject.

The American voters asked for this; they voted for this. They knew, and voted for this anyway. The real monster is the American voters.

The real monsters were the politicians who, over the last 40 years, kept closing the doors for the average person to move forward: congress controlled by corporations. 2009 increased the federal minimum wage to $7.25, where it has stayed. Those monsters gave us Felon47

there is an entire political party dedicated to making this happen and they celebrate it. no idea how you begin to reverse that sort of thing.

JVL, why would you say the menin suits making hideous policy have an air of respectability? You had to end a decent exchange with Sarah with that line that hung in the air. Made me sick and you unwatchable

Still taking UK a time to realise that imperial exceptionalism doesn't apply to it's actions- you could blame it in many ways for Brexit, obvious current trauma is realisation that US (as senior Foreign Policy partner since 1945) may not actually be as well-intentioned as we thought.

Especially when you manage to kick the monster out and then, upon reflection, say what the heck let’s give him another shot.

Israel is an issue which has moved in the last couple years as a wedge for Dems to a wedge for MAGA. It is credibility for the Left. At least since the death of Rachel Corrie the Left has broadcast that Israel is a bad ally.

Talk about victim blaming. The wealthy and corporations, bought the politicians who screwed over the general public for the last 50 years. The DNC battle cry for the last 25 years has been „this is the most important election of your life“ and propped up candidates just like those who put us here.
