5. "It's time to put Clintonism on a raft and set it on fire."

Yes indeedy. I have said this for years, that Bill Clinton helped set the stage for redistributing wealth from the people to the oligarchs, and also opened the door to invading Iraq by starting bombing campaigns on Iraq.

I am a Boomer who absolutely feels that Boomers in the DNC sold out the American people by chasing wealth at the expense of economic and social stability. Glad some are waking up, but far too many have taken that neoliberal to the opposite end of the political spectrum and become MAGA, who want wealth for themselves and nothing for anyone who is the "underserving poor" (aka, Black people, immigrants, GLBTQ+, etc.). Nearly 60% of men over 50 voted for Trump this time around. That's a lot of mostly Boomers.
