Why the West is unprepared for the next economic crash

2. Did you need to learn that you had to vote for Democrats

to put things right after the last one, though? I certainly didn't. This is a very, very old pattern that started long, long before I was born.

Fwiw, people lived with decades of economic problems, just like now, before the Great Depression hurt the middle (voting) classes bad. Then they voted for Democrats overwhelmingly and big change happened.

Unfortunately, in this era, which followed the conservative Reagan era, a lot of political scientists are predicting that the current new pattern of wobbling erratically between parties is likely to continue. We really needed Hillary, and the Democratic congress that at one time looked likely to be swept in on her coattails, to follow Obama so we could build on what he'd started.
