The protection bureau talked about in the article I linked was created 18 months ago under the Obama administration, and already has made some difference. but it's not just about giving benefits to the poor, it's about keeping the ones they already have (medicare, food stamps, welfare, etc). The Republican agenda is to scrap or severely limit all of those programs while at the same time giving tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires. It would be comical in how much the Republicans are looking like stereotypical Disney movie villains if it wasn't actually happening
I'm not saying the Democrats are the perfect party, or even that they're really all that good (in Canada they'd be more right wing than our Conservative party). But compared to the lunacy that is the Republicans they're really the only intelligent choice (until the US gets a third party worth mentioning)
