Out of curiosity, is there a point in time where things were clearly "on track"?
- SkyLemon 2y agoBased on my limited understanding of American politics, it depends on which side of the Mason–Dixon line you live on and when such a divided was relevant.

The Citizen's United decision by SCOTUS, with a bit of a bump again by SCOTUS in 2013 when they basically nullified majority of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Congress is unarguably dysfunctional but (I believe) SCOTUS had a pretty large part in helping them get to where they are today...and in the difficulties involved with getting things back on track.
- advisedwang 2y agoNo, good point! I probably should have said getting things the way most American hope government would work. Or perhaps the way I think government should work, if I'm really being honest.
