6. Tell It Like It Is, Mike!

Joe Biden was bellicosely bragging about the way it's supposed to be - or heck, even maybe the way that it really was in the good ole days before the advent of the "War on Terror" and all the crazy, insane things it brought in its wake, like the Patriot Act, Homeland Security, the NSA spying, etc... Instead of being the party of progressive reformers, like it should be, the Democratic party has given in to jingoistic American exceptionalism, which does nobody any good, except those who would control, manipulate and even terrorize the American people for their own ends.
