15. The pros as you call them have been running to the right for decades.

Carter proposed a meaningful and detailed national energy policy and was way ahead of the curve on national health. He also had the benefit of the Gingrich run Congress after 2 years. And have you forgotten just who it was that colluded with Reagan/Bush to unseat him? The same MIC and CIA that looked in horror at the idea that a sitting president would attempt to reduce Pentagon spending, rationalize federal weapons purchasing and pursue a diplomatic foreign policy rather than one based on subversion and regime change.

They have cultivated the industrial and investment interests at the expense of programs we fought for. They have cozied up to the MIC to the degree that now we have endless war as economic policy rather than a side-effect.

Along the way, they have forgotten how to fight, and forgotten when and why it matters to fight for those programs which the Orange orangutan and his criminal cohort in the cabinet and Senate are now busily deleting from existence.
