I find that this pod really fails to deal with the depth of how bad things have gotten. The idea that this country as it has existed for 40 years now can elect a “reform oriented Congress” is laughable. Come on guys. Even after Trump drove the economy into a recession and killed a million people Biden only got a 50/50 house/senate and got 51% of the vote. Even after bush started 2 wars and drove the economy into the worst recession in a 100 years and Obama, probably the best politician of his generation, only got 53% of the vote. Please please stop living in a fantasy world where somehow something will happen where we will get some huge flip in the American public to (1) get such a reform oriented Congress and (2) that somehow if this reform oriented Congress came about there wouldn’t be an immediate BACKLASH to whatever they did. Our problem is simple: we are a highly DIVIDED society AND a highly REACTIONARY society. That has left us at the point where it is impossible to make any substantial changes to the system.
