Yes, Bernie Sanders is not a Democrat and Hillary represents the very worst of the party/SALON

38. You won't answer

but I'll ask anyway.

The article suggests (correctly) that the Democratic Party underwent a fundamental change in 1992, when Bill Clinton and the DLC moved the party radically to the right (a move they considered necessary after the successive stinging defeats of Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, and Michael Dukakis). Without debating whether that move was necessary (or even the right thing to do), I think we should be able to agree that 1992 was the beginning of the DLC/Third Way dominance of the Democratic Party.

Are we okay so far?

Without resorting to simply reciting what happened under Democratic administrations after 1992, e.g., the economy grew by this much" or "the stock market grew by this much" or "this many jobs were created," AND without resorting to progressive developments in the COURTS, let me ask you to do one simple thing . . .

Tell me every piece of LEGISLATION passed since 1992, during the SIXTEEN YEARS of DLC/Third Way rule, that YOU consider "progressive."

As a matter of fact, let me open that question up to every single DLC-er/Third Way-er on this site . . . you're ALL welcome to participate . . . tell us . . .
