both US parties and both of their bases have gotten substantially worse over the last twenty years. and it seems to be accelerating i would probably prefer any major party candidate from the years of 1968 through 2012 to any major party candidate after. for like. any office

Certainly no worse than the patriot act, a new permanent federal bureaucracy, and two new foreign wars lasting decades each?

I think the foreign policy stuff would've played out exactly the same tbh. Maybe they would've gone to war with Iran instead of Iraq given the current state of geopolitics. Would've been a horrible destructive mess in any case. Financial stuff maybe would be different.

people were PISSED about it at the time though. the Occupy Wall Street thing came directly out of that, and the tea party thing came out of it indirectly. Populist outrage is even higher now. I doubt OWS could be so easily domesticated/marginalized in the current climate.
