Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

But the reason shit is so fucked, is the neoliberal wing took over the Dem party and their only problem with a strong fed is they didn't control it.
Instead of fighting against the centralization of power, they went along with it because 50% of the time they got the keys.
And the oligarchs that funded both sides were cool with it for the same reason the US was cool with installing puppet dictators in the ME.
You want centralized power in a puppet state because the more you concentrate the bribe the more the person will do for it.
It's not impossible to buy off ~550 politicians to own the federal government, but it's easier to just buy off the president.
Just like it's easier to buy off a single federal government, than 52 state/territories.
Which is kind of the whole reason we as citizens should want the power distributed as much as possible, which includes unfreezing the number of House seats and putting more power in state governments.
Shifting power toward the Presidency has been going on far longer than there were neoliberals. It goes back to the early days of the country.
You are hyper-fixated on one particular boogeyman. Heretics and apostates have always been more hated than infidels.
Not really...
There was a short bump after the civil war.
But after that it's all been relatively recent.
Even the stuff FDR was doing was mostly about funding states and projects that helped them.
The consolidation of power in the fed has been about 50 years which is recent on a country's timeline.
