Nah, we need a federal government big enough to finish Reconstruction and break the oppression red state governments are able to force on their own people with voter suppression and gerrymandering bullshit
Also, Bill Clinton famously opposed “big government,” and he was a fucking evil bastard who gutted welfare programs, not somebody to emulate
I mostly meant it tongue-in-cheeck. I also don’t really consider social safety nets, equality, and fairness to be “big” government personally.
That’s a weird take
Generally when people say big government they mean excessive, intrusive, overbearing, controlling. I would rather the focus be on fairness, equality, safety, justice; and to achieve that you do need a “big government” with highly qualified people leveraging science and evidence to drive decision making. But a large government doesn’t have to imply violating personal autonomy, privacy, etc. /shrug
