In what should be an eye-opening discussion, here is a real progressive, Alexander Moss, who is resigned to moving much of governance to the states — or is he?
I'm skeptical. Not blindly opposed, but skeptical. Factoids float across my vision, such as: of the 10 states that still won't expand Medicaid, by strange coincidence 7 are former "slave states". (And you thought the North won the Civil War, silly you.) Arkansas cops are ticketing truck drivers with a $500 fine if they can't read and write in English. Red states are disenfranchising millions of voters. And on and on.
It's not all gloom and doom. Several states -- fed up with Congress' failure to act -- are trying to enact state-based universal healthcare, a la Medicare for All.
Regardless, after we finally dump Trump -- and crush the fascist puppet-master Federalist Society pulling his strings -- I'm betting that a federal administration modeled on FDR and his progressive vice president Henry Wallace would do best for America.
