I am a proud, lifelong Democrat

42. You seem to be missing the point.

The pendulum swung to the right with the con job which was the conservative movement in the 80's. No different than when it swung to the left in the 1930's. The swing in the 30's was so wildly popular that FDR was elected four times! Republicans had to switch their party platform to stay relevant. Eisenhower said any party who tried to get rid of the New Deal would become a dead party....Fast forward to the 90's with the New Democrats(Clintonites). Dem's capitulated to the conservative(less government) ideology. So, what came from the 90's under The New Dems?

1) Nafta
2) Welfare Reform
3) Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994
4) Telecommunications Act of 1996
5) Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act(repealed Glass–Steagall Legislation)
6) Commodity Futures Modernization Act

Doesn't look like a very progressive agenda to me, in fact it looks like the NeoLiberal economic policies envisioned by the conservative movement.

We have two great candidates if Social issues are your only issues. Might i add that Hillary has been VERY late on a lot of these social issues.

We only have ONE candidate if all issues are important to you.

I'm ready to take back the Democratic party from the economic elite and i already voted for Bernie in FederalWay, WA last Saturday and i'll follow him all the way to the convention. If you don't like that, retreat to MSNBC and CNN because you'll find great comfort and an illusion of a narrative there. Keep in mind though, both of those news outlets employ Hillary's surrogates and Super Delegates. You're listening to the elite create an unrealistic narrative. Lap it up and get ready for the TPP.
