I'm kinda on that wavelength too.

The last time I was hopeful for the future of the US was the immediate aftermath of Obama's election. He won a huge mandate and he was definitely going to end the wars, hold Wall Street accountable, roll back War on Terror civil liberties violations, and pass universal health care.

None of it happened. He governed as a neo-conservative and we've all been slowly, but steadily getting poorer ever since. He even turned our two wars into seven. (That we know of.)

I don't believe any of the promises of these Democrats except maybe the handful of DSA's. I hope when they get into office I'm proven wrong, but Dems just have too long of a track record of making promises and breaking them.
