And Obama's work opened the door for Trump. He got the economy growing again but most of the growth went to the top. The majority still got poorer, leaving the sense that centrist politics and economics is disconnected from everyday needs - even when it's working. It doesn't solve the upflow of capital that's now embedded in the system.

The crash of 2008 happened of course and Trump has gleefully undone most of the Obama administration's work. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.

Jon. When are you going to listen. Incremental improvements! That’s all we can hope for. If we’re lucky. No one wants to vote for anything different. We’re all either
A) idiots voting against our interests
B ) idiots believing the lies of tories
C) idiots voting for overly radical change in for eg Labour leadership
Remember you need to get power first and for that you have to betray your principles and any kind of solid ground upon which to lay foundations of change because the whole electorate are racist bigoted fuckwits who want to nuke Sweden. Just say things like “we need to fix our relationship with business” and then when in power “fix it” so you and your family and friends are made for life. Er I mean incremental improvements.

Nobody was arguing in support of bloody revolution though. It's not like we're currently facing a crossroads where that's one of the options.GooberTheHat wrote:What I said was I would take incremental improvements over bloody revolution, so please don't twist my words and make me out to be a fucking idiot.

It was unacceptable back then, it's just that the majority of people didn't think about how offensive it was.
It's like when you were 9 and everything was "gay" if you didn't like it. Nobody batted an eyelid, it was offensive as fuck though but because people's sensitivities to the issues that gay people had back then there was fucking zero consideration.
This is exactly the same, just absolute sheer cultural insensitivity towards a minority group.
