includes the Clintons. I certainly would include them as part of the DLC/Third Way not-quite Republican but close, wing of the party. Nafta, Ending Glass Steagal, Deregulation, Welfare 'reform' that was supposed to be 'fixed' but never was, yes those were part of the Third Way agenda. Which is the Wall St. agenda being that the Third Way was invented and funded by Wall St.
Most of us didn't notice it back then. We were busy defending Clinton from the far right wing lunatics. And while we were doing that, he was was doing things that a democrat should not have been doing. So I agree with you and I have a feeling the OP does too.
There was no large internet presence back then. Had there been I don't think Clinton would have gotten away with as much as he did, at least not without immense pushback from Democrats.
Now we are more informed, more aware and we know more about what they are doing, no longer dependent on the MSM for actual news.
The OP is not blaming any one person or politician. She is blaming those who bought politicians, who implemented policies through those politicians that have been for the most part anti-Democratic, right wing. They had already pretty owned the Republican party. But now they own a significant part of the Democratic Party also. And if we don't wake, it will be difficult to tell the difference.
