    It’s not a generation away tho…

    It’s not like extremism sits off to the side like a 5gallon bucket and once it’s full someone knocks it over.

    It’s like a garden hose. Turn the faucet down even a little has an immediate effect because it’s adding less water immediately.

    Every day we lose an American to this extremist shit. Even publicly trying to fix shit and failing would have an immediate effect.

    You’re other point has to deal with alternating parties.

    If we went back to FDR style Dems that consistently put in work to help Americans, Republicans wouldn’t be winning anything.

    FDR only lost two states in 1936, it’s incredibly effective, we just stopped doing it.
