expend so much emotion on presidencies.
I won't bother to refute all your assertions. I'll merely say that equating the parties couldn't be a worse thing for a more progressive future.
The enemy of the good is the perfect.
One example: single payer. Yeah, Dems killed it, but Obamacare still was vastly better than what preceded it.
US still supported gas/oil exploration--- but drilling was limited and important wildlife areas were protected. Alternative fuel programs were funded.
Lastly, there was vigorous prosecution by the Justice Dept. of financial crimes, post-W. However, proving "intent" in the cases that led to the collapse indeed has been difficult. Remember, we were teetering on the edge of a depression when Obama took office. Remember that we needed to assure those relatively few who control our markets and economic lives that no radical was in charge.
