    As the richest country in the history of earth, we can do so much better than this.

    This always pisses me off. Look how far we’ve gotten with such piss poor leadership for so long. Imagine what the nation could look like if we had even just mostly competent leadership for the last 50 years.

      I dont agree that it’s a competency issue.

      Our leaders are hyper-competent when fighting for the interests of wall street, the military industrial complex, the oil and gas industry, the insurance industry, etc.

      Powerful moneyed interests are their real constituents. They only pretend to care about the needs of real working Americans when they need votes.
