Well you have reality and then there is your version...
Both parties voted for Afghanistan & Iraq...
and that is probably the primary reason that "compromise" resulted in no prosecutions for the criminal acts associated with those wars and such atrocities as the Patriot act, Gitmo, warrantless wiretapping, etc., by those in high positions of previous and current administrations
True, but none of those consequences had anything to do with the housing bubble or the economic collapse in 2007.
Provide that everyone who is sick or injured receives the care that they need to return to health as a basic obligation that all residents of this nation owe to each other and we can get rid of the insurers and profiteers who seek to earn obscene profits off the misery and infirmity of others.
And it really is that simple...
Outlaw and criminalize political parties and we would very simply and quickly eliminate 99% of the problems inherent to modern politics.
So what do you think? If all the conservatives left and liberals would be in charge:
I don't think we'd notice much difference at all, from my perspective both ideologies are corrupt and there isn't a plug nickel's worth of difference between either of these corporatist stooges in modern American conservative and liberal philosophies.
If Conservatives (and the right of center liberals that constitute most of the Democratic Party) had left this country in the seventies, I suspect that the only memories 9-11 would evoke is as the telephone emergency assistance number, so there would have been nothing to "retaliate" against. Not that there would have been no one in the world that disliked the US, but the unfolding of history for the last 40 years would have been unrecognizably different.There would have been no retaliation for 9/11?
