It's not as idyllic as people think.

we just enter a less stable version of the world?

That's not how it was sold in the 'naughts.

But basically.

I think the way to go is smaller more fragmented organizations kept together by larger deals. Sort of like how the US was supposed to go originally

Rule on as local a level as you can

With higher tiers existing to solve less manageable problems

I think that's part of the solution. But I also think at some level you have to be able to unify into something greater.

It's a delicate act.

Most social problems want local solutions.

But economic and military ones tend towards global ones.

I don't think you can get people on opposite sides of the continent to unite indefinitely

what are somer fucked up things democrats supporter throughout history

I think you can.

slavery, KKK

what else

There was that widespread lie about johnson

"well have those niggers voting democrat for the next two hundred years"

jim crow?

The history of the South until the 70s.

That's the ones people tend to.

but his great society program was a step back for most african american communities

they have anything to do with the mccarthy era?

Bill Clinton was roiled by scandals his entire presidency.

Many people argue that it incentivized single motherhood

Debatable if this is "bad" but Wilson promised not to get into WWI. Did it anyway.

See i know not everyone agrees on this and while i think its important to acknowledge the Democrats past, they had a paradigm shift during the Nixon presidency in which the dixiecrats left to the republicans due to platform change in favor of civil rights

I think the real breaker was around Reagan.

among other reasons

A bit later than all the civil rights stuff.

yea that was another paradigm

And a fundamentally different fight.

Vietnam really rewrote everything.

both parties have changed significantly in a very short amount of time tbh

You have to go up to the 60s as pre-Vietnam and civil rights and then after Nixon as post-Vietnam.

due to just how volatile post WWII was

The stuff people worried about before and after and the factions and things were radically changed.

TBH, I tend to divide modern politics as post and pre-Afganistan.

The biggest problem socially wise that the parties are facing is Identity Politics

it is inherently regressive

That's bigger than the parties though.

It's a huge social problem.
