How are you a leftist yet don’t think that America’s decline started well before that? America somehow rose under Clinton as worker protections were in rapid decline to non-existent?

US military power for sure peaked in the 90s relative to other countries , it is nice that we had a surplus from 1998 to 2001. After collapse of USSR the US had unmatched cultural influence and rapid innovation. Was it perfect? Hell no
