2016 Postmortem

(45,251 posts)27. What's to talk about? The DLC/Third Wayers took over the Democratic Party and morphed it
into a neoliberal/neocon New Democrat Party (then again "neocon" may be redundant) that sought to disassociate itself from the party of the New Deal and the Great Society.
Bernie Sanders is not DLC or Third Way and never was. Hillary is and always has been philosophically, except when she was a conservative Republican.
What else is there to say?
