(28,586 posts)without saying that Bill Clinton was the sole cause ruining America because of loss of manufacturing jobs -- he signed a trade deal in the '90s -- instead of reality, that the economy shifted from manufacturing to service in the '70s and the losses became very bad in the '80s (remember Michael Moore's movie "Roger & Me" from 1989 oops before Bill) and the main reason is automation, not Bill Clinton's diabolical plot to ruin America). That Democrats shifted Right and have the same neoliberal economic policies as Republicans is the foundation of the ideology. A lot of conspiracies and mis/disinformation going around at the time, very trendy with the I Hate Democrats They Must Be Replaced audiences. A fictional evil Democratic Party.
Said he was voting for Stein or writing in a name in 2016. What a "great Democrat"!
