From the archives: Bill Clinton elected president in 1992 

The past twenty three years have been identical to the 1980's, 1920's, 1860's and 1850's globally. Right wing Depression Years.

Please reiterate this. Seems like a whole lotta people are still in denial.

@@disgruntledpelican5660 Thats you son..

So crazy to Louisiana AND Georgia as Blue...

​@@LaPizza8685Georgia went blue in 2020. Before 1964, every southern state was HEAVILY democratic. For example, in 1936, FDR won South Carolina with 98% support. He also won Mississippi with 97%. It all flipped when the Democratic Party started supporting civil rights.

And good music!

The younger generations don't realize how bad things got after 9/11 - obviously that event wasn't the single cause but it feels like it marked a very definitive line for which I remember life being much better before and things turned very dark in the years after, never to return again. I genuinely believe we were happier, healthier and were more prosperous before cell phones, instant communication at all times, the massive amount of regulations and monitoring and inflation -at the end of the 90's it was easy to get a $6 - $7 an hour job at Burger King or something and you could still afford to fill your gas tank half full with a $5 bill and you could get a week's worth of food at the grocery store for $15....essentially $20 a week was the only thing really REQUIRED to make it to work and back and get through the day. Today, many people are working for $9 an hour but a tank of gas is $50 and you MIGHT be able to eat for 2 days on $10 worth of groceries and then you've got the stress of being plugged in and essentially "on" all the time with cell phones and social media. .....I think back to the 90s and the thing I absolutely miss the most was the ability to get in your car and just disappear for an afternoon and NOBODY would be upset at you.....there weren't any cell phones - at least not for normal people - so it's not like you were expected to constantly be looking at it. If you stopped in the park and just sat for 2 hours it would be no big deal. It's gotten so bad......sometimes I feel like a frog being boiled alive in 21st century western culture.

@@davidkeetz I have made a similar point so I know exactly how you feel. It feels like there was a fleeting moment, where we were just in a solid spot. Not everyone of course. But from the mid 90s until those planes hit those towers, there was a real sense of country, unity. We had a budget surplus by the end of Clinton’s years. We had dealt with some bs over in Kosovo, and we were in a good spot. The nation was not perfect, but we were close. I would love for our young people to be able to experience the 1990s. What a time to be alive!

The triumph of liberal democracy and capitalism!!! The demise of communism!

The right wing Depression and Intentional Torts in which is identical to the 1980's, 1920's, 1860's and 1850's.

I was 1 year or about 12 months old when he was elected.

your opinion.

Welcome to the internet. You liked it so much you spoke tome today. If you hate Internet and Soundgarden...Hrm.@@jmjfanss

facts, my friend. facts. young people have no idea just how much worse life is on the whole today. I think back to that time and I miss so much about it. I miss how much buying power a minimum wage job had compared to today. I was happy working a crappy job because I could still fill my gas tank, get a pack of smokes and take out lunch for under $20....and then I could just decide to go for a four drive into the country and it would be fine because I was expected to constantly be checking this stupid cell phone. Time with friends felt more valuable because you weren't constantly seeing them on social media - - there was a feeling of real exploration without a GPS map in your pocket at all times. The world was SO DIFFERENT before 2001. @@jmjfanss

Good internet? What are you talking about

@@MrJimheeren it WAS amazing to us back then - and it was ethically good - or at least saintly compared to what the internet has become now. it was truly still a tool of knowledge and communication and not yet become corrupted. It's really hard to explain what it was like watching the internet morph from an strictly informational space to what's it become now

that was the last time that life in American society was generally good........man we had no idea what kind of nightmare world was waiting right around the corner for us.

Bingo @ virtute

Obama and Biden are both better than Clinton

lol

my reaction exactly!!!

This was 1992, so CBS was spot on until 2000.

Actually they called it right. The SCOTUS stole it and gave it to George W. Bush. Try and know wtf your talking about before you open your mouth.

Fair enough, but I think most would agree that Clinton's strength was as a master retail politician more than as a public speaker. The joke was that his speech st the '88 DNC was a flop.

Until 2000

Well she was 17 at the time and living in California. So yeah she was not in Little Rock Arkansas

So did Monica and look were that got them

Cry about it.

Almost like there was no such deadly pandemic like Covid-19 for a long time.

well there also wasn’t a pandemic stopping people from going outside😂

@@opraahouse well they've done it few times since on small elections when there were no covid restrictions - how's that kool aid you're drinking?

@@opraahouseUnless they were protesting for George Fentanyl Floyd. That was totally safe

The election in 2000 took weeks to finish. Republicans under fund elections, and you blame everyone else? They attack poll workers for doing their civil duty FOR FREE. We need a minimum of 250 million dollars to properly fund presidential elections. Biden asked for 130 million, and Republicans gave him 20 million. They want to break the system and then point to it and say that the election was rigged. They purposefully try to destroy our election system so that they don't lose. You don't see that? Please do some research!
