People think the Democrats lost...

Democrats will keep losing because that's their sole purpose.

Ratchet effect.

The Republicans tug on the levers of power pulling everything right.

The Democrats' duty is to normalize and rationalize while the GOP resets for the next tug.

There are Democrats that do actually care, but the DNC leadership is well right of center and would rather lose to Trump than win with Burnie.

Democrats will always lose because liberals are right of center nimby turds that will continue to worship capitalism as we all burn.

Anyone expecting the Democrats to save them is ignoring this is the first election in decades no state Democrat contested any result and PA, NY, and NV all show results that are statically impossible and obviously manipulated.

I would argue both more than readily pay for themselves just based off three data points.

1. Food stamps alone provide an immediate 170% return in economic activity. This doesn't factor in the benefit of addressing malnutrition or second hand factors like stress from scarcity or poverty PTSD. People without money can't participate. Giving them food money is a net cascade of good.

2. The post office is one of the most sophisticated, accomplished, amazing, shoe string budget endeavors of humanity and despite constant right wing sabotage of both flavors still out performs private alternatives in terms of cost and performance with headcount. Making the post office not only a community credit union but a regional job board hub would be minor in terms of the staggering return in two generations.

3. I'm on the board of a municipal utility. Our private competition will raise rates 15-25% to our 4-6%. We don't spend millions in advertising, we actually are pushing the gm to add head count because we fear burn out, we as a board give raises better than we got at our jobs, but they're still making under private sector- but our every service metric is superior.

The biggest problems with most systems are wholly intentional sabotage to justify further undermining programs that cost rich people money and make poor people more self sufficient.

It would be real easy to make a block chain based committee forum used for everything from local ordinances and sourcing legislation to sharing recipes and electing leaders. It's becoming less true, but Reddit is great for having the right person that can identify the vintage of the wine simply based off the cork in the dude's butthole.

Crowd sourcing information gets better the more capable the crowd. Our nation has been sabotaging education for decades specifically because they don't want literate masses.

Ultimately, the most significant impediment to either isn't funding; it's the fascists in power that spent the last century working towards a gullible and economically desperate working class Molotov they could chuck at FDR's legacy.

Ubi is the opposite of their goals and work camps will keep everyone plenty busy.
