I'm a systems person. I agree with you that I have very little knowledge of how the USA got to where it did. No argument about that.

What I am talking about is that the same economic system is supported by both the Democrats and the Conservatives. This system started with Reagan and Thatcher when they implemented the economic theories of Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman, Karl Popper, George Stigler and Ludwig von Mises.

Bill Clinton put the final nails in that coffin when he dismantled the welfare society, and I think it was Reagan who eradicated all the mental asylums. Taxes were lowered from the 90 to 95% and that's when American infrastructure started crumbling.

The DNC has made sure that it has fielded a neoliberal in every election. There were some fantastic candidates running in 2020. Did the DNC select any of them. Nope! They scrambled for someone who wouldn't change a thing - Biden's words. Or where they "Nothing's going to change.'

It doesn't matter whether it's the Democrats or the Republicans - it's the same economic system. Obama couldn't get away from the insurance companies. Biden hasn't been able to remove student debt.

Democrats are very much into their human rights. Quite honestly, I have no interest in anymore focus on human rights. I think it's a red herring.

Again, I focus on systems - ethical systems, political systems, economic systems. One doesn't need to know how those systems arrived. One only needs to understand how they work, and if they're feasible. I don't think laissez-fare capitalism works.
