I keep hearing how "we need a viable conservative party." Why? What for? [View all]

What have conservatives ever offered us but trickle down economics, nostalgia for "the good old days" of racial segregation, "family values" i.e. sexism and homophobia, red-baiting, environmental havoc and the shredding of the social safety net?

And why prop up a Republican party that has been morally bankrupt since the says of Dwight D. Eisenhower? (And even Eisenhower refused to take on Joseph McCarthy until McCarthy went after the army).

I'm ready for Democrats to steer this country for a couple of decades, as they did from 1933 to 1952, giving us Social Security, the New Deal, and in the 1960s Medicare and Medicaid.

Just imagine what President Biden and Vice President Harris could do without the ball and chain that the GOP has been for this country now for decades.
