I wonder when/where that "soul" went!
During 1990s the Democratic party started playing the same corporate game the Repub party was playing; so much money was flowing into the political system at that time that it felt it had to. Clinton formed Democratic Leadership Council. Good intentions perhaps but a bad result.
So I think I understand you to believe that the Democratic party had a soul in the LBJ years, during the height of the Vietnam War. Is that correct? War on poverty, yes, but also war on Vietnam including the use of napalm. And destroying villages in order to save villages.
Absolutely the Viet Nam war was deplorable. At the same time, LBJ’s domestic agenda was very much the traditional soul of the Democratic Party. One of the tragic ironies of history.
Exactly! 40 years of neoliberalism and Third Way Democrat’s have sapped the base. As income inequality widened, the Democratic Party began its drift to the right wing. Sanders is a moderate new deal democrat.
Thanks! It's a shame their status quo of wealth/power and their desire to keep it at all cost is what drives them. Such a simple solution "treat other as you want to be treated." I really wish we could force them to "walk in our shoes." But they wouldn't get to far.
That entire war existed and persisted to make military weapons builders profitable. Republicans share the shame and the blame for that war, but it was started by democrats. There is no idealistic past for either party.
JMO, both parties lost their soul after the Roberts Court voted in favor of Citizens United. That was the beginning of the end of The Soul of America.
