With Trump now occupying that space, that's less true, but it still favors doing nothing rather than something. We've had 45 years of doing nothing or doing something and reversing it soon after, which ha's left us with a massive infrastructure backlog, near record inequality and no viable response to AGW. I think I'll pass.
The Republicans don't have option/luxury of doing nothing these days. The Republican inability and willingness to do nothing about relevant resulted in job losses.and forced retirements.
Republicans have been trying their best to steal elections wherever and whenever they can. I'm not talking about elections; I'm talking about policy. If you look back at the last 45+ years, when the right has held sway in government, the lack of activism and the degree to which the private sector has been allowed to run wild has given us the worst infrastructure of any advance country (worse than some emerging countries), and degraded the earning power and job security of the lower and middle classes. Why is that good?
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
