    Establishment Dems have been tracking right for decades. Clinton was a blue dog Democrat. Obama initially presented as more left, but ultimately didn’t govern that way.

      The DNC needs to just finish the slow metamorphosis they’ve been going through for decades and finally merge with the RNC so we can get a new actual opposition party. It’s looking likely that that new party would end up being the democratic socialist party.

      Sure, but how the hell was 2020 not a wake up call if representing the people actually mattered to them. I’m willing to give Clinton and to a lesser extent Obama some slack for being a product of their time. R hated Clinton then about as much as they do AOC now.
