The Democratic party needs to *compromise*!

16. They are indeed to the right of Eisenhower, most notably concerning war and empire, the moderate bit

I referred to were regarding some social issues, but even on those, these "new" Democrats are to the right of LBJ regarding minorities as is evidenced by William J Clinton's (with the wholehearted support of Hillary Rodham Clinton I might add) war on mostly minorities crime bills and drug wars which have resulted in an industrial prison complex/industry that has more people now in prison in our county than even China, North Korea or any of the worst of the banana republics or cruel monarchies such as Saudi Arabia.

With just a bit more time, once they feel they no longer need minority, LGBT and others they pay lip service to now's votes, rest assured, they will lose any "moderation" left.

Actually, I think Hillary's courting of the Republican king makers donation's and her now near complete support of the neocons, that time may come much sooner than later.

They started by giving up the votes of the poor and working class for the professional and financial upper class votes.

They will likely abandon the Social issues votes next in order to gain the bigoted and war machine votes. (please note that although the words presented in italics are only speculative at the moment, the former have already happened and are a "done deal" in this party realignment
