Pretty much everyone in the Democratic party now except the Squad and Warren (Bernie is an independent), is to the right of Nixon who was trash, but also supported #BasicIcome, environmental protections, and universal healthcare.https://khn.org/news/nixon-proposal/ …

Everything is so tribalistic now that all the Left or Dems have to do is say something is Good and Republicans will automatically say it is Bad and fight against it. Radio, Fox, Reagan, and Newt Gingrich destroyed real bipartisan governance in America.

Gingrich played a pivotal role in the political shift, but so did Clinton. The welfare reform Clinton enacted took food from the mouths of hungry children. Republicans have driven politics hard right with great success & the help of Fox etc., but Dems have drifted with them.

I don't know anyone who thought Clinton's welfare reform was a good thing. Not then, and not now. But he also tried to over haul the health care system. When I was in college, the person trying to give me universal healthcare was Bill Clinton, not Bernie Sanders. I'm just sayin'

Plenty of folks at the time and now think Democrats have to do that sort of moderate right politicking to win... because US politics has shifted hard to the right over the past few decades. Clinton's "3rd Way" was how the Dems collaborated in that shift.

I'm not a political expert. I just know what I see. I'm not sure collaboration is the right word for failed attempts at bipartisan governance. I will say one thing: Trickle Down Economics is now a proven failure, shout it to the skies, it was all a bunch of lies. Reagan is dead.

Respect, just noting how politics has shifted hard right. Most of that is because of the right wing media ecosystem and dividers like Gingrich etc., but Democrats also share blame for not working hard enough to push it back left to where it was in the 70s.

That could be. I grew up with Reagan mocking Liberals while I was in high school. It has only gotten worse over time. I don't even know what to do with them at this point as they don't want to govern. My only answer is to vote them out at every level of government, everywhere.

Reaganomics did exactly what it was supposed to do, funnel ever more money into the hands of the ruling class and out of your pocket. That was always the point. This was noted at the time. You don't use bank robbers to help a bank... It was always a grift.
