the DLC was a stalking horse for the right, there to
vitiate and divide any effective political left in
the country. It started after the VietNam War, a very
annoying event from the point of view of the ruling class,
an effective grass-roots leftist movement that interfered
with their agenda.

But of course, that's ridiculous.

Edit: the fundamental thing is that the DLC is corporatist.
When push comes to shove, they prefer George Bush to Jim
Hightower or Ralph the Saint, or anybody else that will take
on the Corporations like FDR did. They don't want any of that
populist BS interfering with Corporate profits.
