... while it feels that way it's not really true. The biggest thing right now is people can't afford a home which is so shitty everyone has the right to be upset. Abortion is another one but this election would be a major deciding factor. In America it is often one step forward two steps back, I'm not denying it. Only, there are people out here who want to make things better for everyone.

Buddy you mentioned some pretty fundamental aspects to peoples lives getting worse. If life isn't getting worse then what do you suppose is getting better that makes up for unaffordable homes, loss of rights, historic levels of inflation and so on?

The person I responded to said no progress is being made. Not that people's lives are getting worse. The government can't take full responsibility for economic issues. Sure, if we had responsible leadership and a functioning legislator things could be different but much progress is needed to get us there.
