“The era of big government is over”. Ronald Reagan? No, Bill Clinton, right before screwing over unions and rolling back the federal safety net more than any Republican until perhaps Trump. Obama was Wall Street’s bitch from the start and coopted a left wing push for healthcare reform to push a right wing healthcare plan. Both Clinton and Obama took in millions from Wall Street immediately upon leaving office.
So that contradicts your first statement.
Oh, come on. Oh, fuck off. “Never” was obviously hyperbole, and accurate enough if you have to go back to 1945 for a counter example. It’s arguably not even the same party since there aren’t even any members serving today that we’re serving back then.
You’re ignoring the inherent contradiction by claiming what’s “wanted” was and is never supported.
The first wall of resistance the left runs into on almost every issue is the Democratic establishment (here after just Democrats). The only way the left has moved the Democrats on anything is to first subvert them and build an irresistible tide of public support, and the Democrats form the chief resistance we always have to overcome. Democrats were late to the party on slavery, lgbt rights, labor rights, labor friendly trade policy, monetary policy, welfare, and taxation. They have currently caved entirely to right wing framing on immigration, trans rights, and law enforcement. If you think I can’t back every one of those statements up, you are wrong.
That’s a lot already - it’s not an impenetrable fortress of unknowable things.
You missed my point entirely. We don’t need to dig up secrets to show Trump’s criminality. There is more than enough public information available to hang him up in the public square already. The Russia stuff blends a lot of reality with a lot of complete bullshit so that has become politically toxic, but just in the conduct of his administration alone there are countless undeniable crimes. We don’t need more, we need the political power to impeach and prosecute.
And Kamala and Walz wouldn’t support this publicly but I have no doubt they’d find any uncovered truths valuable.
Valuable for what? Calling a redo? That isn’t going to happen. Be honest with yourself and admit that you are harboring that fantasy. You know it isn’t real, but you just can’t let go.
To be clear, I have no problem with actual investigation, but that sure doesn’t appear to be what this group is doing. Nothing about this effort is convincing or interesting in the slightest.
