If people need someone to blame, you can look directly at these woke liberals and the democrats that pander to them.
Hate to break it to you, but it's only going to get worse. You cannot, never, not in a million years replace sound policy with social justice and have it be successful - unless the goal is to kill America.
BOTH parties are to blame. They suck ass, and do not have the Lower & Middle Classes best interest in mind when making decisions.
Who in hell let the liberals take over?
I refused to vote for McCain Romney or Trump. You accept crappy candidates that lose. Keep it up. Instead of blaming your team for losing you blame the winners. I didnt vote for Biden but I know several people that voted for him as a vote against Trump.
I blame the Boomers

Holding your nose and supporting poor candidates leads to defeat. Demand better or just complain. Blame the other side for winning or get better. Why is that concept so hard to understand?
I have found theres only two ways to go:
Living fast or dying slow.
I dont want to live forever.
But I will live while I'm here.

We'll, we can do all that and also blame the people who wasted their votes on virtue signaling for a candidate with zero mathematical chance of winning...Limited IQ Redneck in PU said:

We know what happens when you do.it your way. Look.around.
If more people.refused to hold their nose we would.get better candidates.

At the local level, sure, but in a national election voting for a 3rd party that has zero chance of winning is nothing but a virtue signal and offers one less vote against the worst candidate running.
Yes, that's a great strategy, and great advice for the kids - don't compromise and don't be pragmatic, kids. Instead, be hard-headed and uncompromising, holding out until the absolute perfect candidate comes along for you to vote for. And if America votes an incompetent liberal buffoon into office and he ruins the country, well it was the other side's fault for not putting up the absolute perfect candidate for me to vote for!Limited IQ Redneck in PU said:

As an aside, I suspect that if Jesus was running for office, you wouldn't vote for him.
In all seriousness, you can drop the charade. All of us know the reason it doesn't matter to you is you're not conservative.

Another reason that by not having a true democratic multi-party system we are in effect just an odious corrupt Oligarchy.Wangchung said:

[The United States is divided into red and blue not because Americans want only two choices. In poll after poll, majorities want more than two political parties. Few Americans enjoy the high-stakes partisan combat. The United States is divided because in winner-take-all plurality elections, third parties can't emerge. And even if Americans agree on wanting a third party, few are willing to gamble on an alternative for fear of wasting their vote. Nor can Americans agree on which third party they would want, either. The United States would need five or six parties to represent the true ideological diversity of the country.
All else equal, modest multiparty democracies (with three to seven parties) perform better than two-party democracies. Such a party system regularizes cross-partisan compromise and coalition building. Since parties need to work together to govern, more viewpoints are likely to be considered. The resulting policies are more likely to be broadly inclusive, and broadly legitimate, making voters happier with the outcomes.]

I blame primarily Russian, and to a lesser extent Chinese, disinformation campaigns.
That's what has really changed, largely under our noses, and has been fomenting under the surface for about the last decade or so and has now reached a fever pitch.
The Russian propaganda apparatus is probably the most sophisticated and insidious the world has ever seen, something Gobbels could have only dreamed of. We're only now beginning to understand its true ramifications.
Our enemies found our soft underbelly. They couldn't beat us militarily, so they instead went after creating internal divisions in our society to try to break us from the inside out instead of from the outside in.
Boomers haven't been particularly great, they have certainly spent us into oblivion, but so has pretty much every other generation. Hopefully we have all learned our lesson of the importance of fiscal prudence, but boomers aren't the only ones who need to learn that lesson.
And hopefully we have learned the need to forgive others for making this mistake, now that pretty much everyone has fallen for it, who are we to judge?
Generational warfare interestingly enough, has been one of the divisions Russia's information war has sought to exploit. We are still unwittingly falling for it. If the boomers made any key mistake, it's failing to identify this threat earlier, but it seems many if not most are still making the same mistake as well.
I had a moment when I was repeating something about blood type or vitamin D and how it might help protect against covid, then realized later on that was Russian disinformation. And I was one of the ones that was somewhat aware in general of the scale of Russian disinformation campaign sooner than others, but that was the moment that it really hit me, "wow this has gotten reallly insidious". How deep does the rabbit hole on this one really go? Unfortunately, it goes pretty deep.
Before we fight any of our old battles, let's pause, think about how important it really is, and hopefully come to the conclusion that we need to band together and fight this common enemy first and foremost.
The most important thing I think we can all be doing now is sharpening our skills on how best to combat Russia's info war, Rand Corporation has alot of good recent studies I would recommend starting with.
We need to stop reflect and really think hard about what is truly most important to us, and let go of the things that aren't.

Everything I have read, it seems the Founding Fathers were more concerned with the US being able to function and that its citizens be able to provide tangible value to the whole. The rules were set in place for that end, to allow the US to survive and compete on a global scale.
I didn't see too much on having the Government provide social services.
I can't quite be sure where you stand... Not a negative, just getting a feel for the playing field. To each his own and I enjoy the discussions.

I don't think you give Boomers enough credit.
Many went to schools you would never think of attending.
Many worked jobs most younger generation would say are beneath them.
Many got degrees in areas that paid based on economics, not because it was there internal calling.

Boomers are running the show. Past generations balanced budgets and paid taxes to get the budget balanced.
Boomers pass laws to give them more perks without paying for them.
That's the pattern I see.

College was affordable for Boomer because the Greatest Generation paid for it. Now that Boomer has his degree tuitions sky rocket and Boomer want kids to go into debt for the teaching degree.
I don't think you give Boomers enough credit.
Many went to schools you would never think of attending.
Many worked jobs most younger generation would say are beneath them.
Many got degrees in areas that paid based on economics, not because it was there internal calling.
7% of those drafted evaded. Less than 0.01% of the 27 million. Less than 1% went to Canada. 2.7 million served.
The opportunities that the WW2 generation and Boomers left today's generations are immense compared to what existed before. They get a bad wrap.
You can make numbers say whatever you want. Accurate statistics does not tell the whole story. That book is BS. No different than those trying to get reparations out of future generations.
Boomers: The Men and Women Who Promised Freedom and Delivered Disaster
With two recessions and a botched pandemic under their belt, the Boomers are their children's favorite punching bag. But is the hatred justified? Is the destruction left in their wake their fault or simply the luck of the generational draw?
Rather than figuring out how to manage current conditions or simply putting their nose to the grindstone and working g through it like past generations, the current younger generations seem content to ***** about it.
Funny, the guy who wrote the book that started this conversations made his millions exploiting the rules the boomers supposedly put in place that created thise recessions. His making millions under those rules is fine, anything he doesn't like is the boomers fault and the boomers need to give him more money. Seeing a pattern????
Boomers are running the show. Past generations balanced budgets and paid taxes to get the budget balanced.
Boomers pass laws to give them more perks without paying for them.
That's the pattern I see.
Gibney was born in 1976. 1976 is boomer ? ?? He made a fortune investing in PayPal and other. Coms. The guy wrote the book that started this whole Boomers are blame for the world. Anyone born befor 64 and after 46 should pay the younger generation reparations.

I agree that the author of the first boomer book, Generation of Sociopaths, is Gibney and he certainly isn't a boomer.
The point stands, however. The biggest reason we're in this **** is the Boomer generation.

It is like saying that Depression was caused by the generation in power at the time. Did they cause it, or are they a victim of history? Because the actual people that started this ball rolling in the 60's were the silent generation. We still have non-boomers in power. Did the Boomers control what Soviet Russia did, that forced the response? Just like did GenX and Millenials cause China and Russia to do their thing? Don't buy the concept.

The silent generation indulged & spoiled boomers. Boomer greed & narcissism was born in the 60s.
I don't understand the Boomer-Soviet Union reference. What did the Soviet Union do? Remember, the USSR dissolved in 1991.
Likewise, I don't understand the GenX-Milenial reference to something China-Russia did. Please explain further & I will try to respond.

We outspent the Soviets which played into national debt. Those expenditures were in response to Soviet aggression, remember Czech for example?
As for the rest, you are assuming that Boomers control everything and made conscious decisions to.screw everyone to.get their way. I think you give them too much credit and underestimate the size of the economy. Now, on the one hand your generation says the Boomers were selfish and caused debt. On the other we should have Socialized medicine for all, forgive all student loans and regulate business to fight climate change. Sort of not real compatible views. Your opinion does not matter because we are attributing these things to generations, you are GenX or a Millenial and they are in power. You are for all of Bidens programs Mr GenX. Get it....

We outspent the Soviets which played into national debt. Those expenditures were in response to Soviet aggression, remember Czech for example? We balanced budgets after the Soviet incursion into Czechoslovakia. The deficits we did incur were $10s of millions to less than $400 millions, not trillions.
As for the rest, you are assuming that Boomers control everything and made conscious decisions to.screw everyone to.get their way. In my opinion, things went to **** when Boomers had the votes. Nobody controls everything, but Boomers had most of the votes and the Reps listened to them, IOW give Boomers their way.
I think you give them too much credit and underestimate the size of the economy.
