That as a slam. But we have a ton of older democrats in office who drank the Austeriry tea of Reagan and Thatcher and became "new democrats"... our usual centrist dems joined them and raised the next gen in that unholy milieu instead of teaching them and raising them in the FDR politics which actually won us elections and helped everyone. Until we get back to those basics, im afraid democrats, like the repugs, are going to be wandering the deserts while the rest of us just die.
