(84,711 posts)posted it means that what's Old to Us is NEW..... Maybe there's some hope in the Harpers Article that reaches folks who need to "Connect Dots." They've been questioning but they don't know how to put together how badly off our Democratic Party is at this point for the PROGRESSIVE/LEFT WING.
The rest of Dems are fine and they don't think beyond Obama and are Confident of a Hillary WIN.
But the rest of us Democrats are thinking.... WHAT IF HILLARY doesn't Run, or has an illness that strikes her somewhere between now and 2016.
WE LEFTY DEMS...really would like a Back Up and ALL Dems should be wary of putting eggs in one basket that can be crushed.
We need to BUILD our PARTY and not depend on Past President Celebrities to Carry on.. Hillary Clinton Smacks of DYNASTY... And that's Not America for the Commons.... IMHO.
We should at this point have many Dem Back Benchers to choose from. That we don't is due to the oxygen being sucked out of WHO WE ARE as a Party...compared to the Charismatic Personalities like Clintons and Obama Family who are the Dominants and the Choosers of the Next Dynasty.
How is this for the Dems different from the Repugs with the Bush Dynasty?
That's my Big Questions.......
