2016 Postmortem

The last far left candidate we have was FDR. Clinton was a moderate Republican compared to the nuts in the Right Wing at the time. The whole Democratic Party is Center-right. And, you being born in the 80's means you voted for President what?, 6 times maybe? You know our modern political history goes back to the 20's.

Our Party has swung right ever since Reagan was in office. The money started to flow from the Lobbyists, and the Democrats began their shift to being Corporatists.

I am 63 years old, and it is embarrassing to me to see how far the Democrats have left their core values. Bernie is not even far left. Now he is, but 40 years ago he would have been barely left center. In the 60's we got the Clean Air and Water Acts passed. Civil Rights improvements, the Disability Act, Medicare, all against Republican resistance. We should have National Health Care, every other civilized Country does. Our Unions should be stronger with millions more members.

No offense, but you really have no idea what America was like before Reagan started the destruction of the Middle Class. There were still problems like racism and others. But the schools were well funded, a family could be raised with one parent working, you could graduate High School, get a job and start a family by the time you were 20. That was very common pre-Reagan.

Ask you parents/Grandparents what they think of our current America. To me, it stinks. Almost not suitable to live here anymore.
