Imagine having a dem president for 8 years without having the economy collapse right before.
Dems aren't perfect. The 90s weren't perfect. Wealth inequality was a problem then too. They could be significantly more progressive. I'd like to see us use our wealth and power for bigger things than the Dems have gone for since JFK.
But they're so much fucking better than the Republicans, even the old 1990s Republicans. So much better.
Do some reading on Clinton, especially his crime bill and what he did to welfare. He undid a lot of FDR's New Deal.
NAFTA was also pretty shit.
