While there’s more to quality of life than just environmental threats and humans are still better off today than at any other point in history,
Do we have to make this pointless statement every single time we criticize Trump?
Do we need to pointlessly mention how terrible things are the world over every single time we criticize Trump?
P.S. - Things aren’t terrible.
Things are quite terrible for many people now though.
This is always true at any time. Until someone invents free energy and the Star Trek replicator, the world will be a terrible place for some people, but hopefully in ever-decreasing numbers (which has been the general trend throughout history). Who has it worse now than before Trump was president? The environment is definitely getting the shaft and that will have effects on people for sure, but what other policy changes have made it immediately and demonstrably worse for significant numbers of people?
Democrats lost because they had a mediocre platform and the wrong candidate.
These are only two of many other reasons, and in fact the mediocre platform (which I agree with) could have easily been overcome by the wrong candidate (which I don’t agree with) if it wasn’t a perfect storm of other things too. Trump barely won, any and all the factors were tipping points, not just the two you like to pick on.
I think as long as you believe that it was a “perfect storm” that got Trump into office – assuming the Democratic Party shares that view and continues to base policy and candidates on it – you’ll have a tough time winning future elections.
