I don't think that the greatest danger to the Democratic Party is the GOP

[CajunBlazer]

83. "Neoliberalism" is yet the newest derogotory term....

used by the far left to denigrate progressives who dare to be moderate then themselves.

One cannot lessen the inherent ineffectiveness that comes with swearing allegiance to an rigid and unbending ideology by trying to label others with derogatory terms.

Shifts to the right and left have occurred many times in our nation's history, but never too far to the left or too far to the right and this shift will be no different.

You see, in the American people we have a built in mechanism which prevents shifts to the extremes. When the group temporarily in power pushes policy too far to the right or too far to the left, the public is exposed to the ugly underbelly of far right or far left extremism and a the voters step away and begin to shift in the opposite direction. That time comes when the public begins to understand that the perceived advantages of moving further to the left or right are counter balanced by equally or even more important disadvantages.

That is why this country has never and will never in the future swing to the far right, or for that matter to the left a much as you desire. Throughout our county's history many far right and far left zealots have lived out their entire lives pining for the entire country to join them in their righteous cause and have died unfulfilled. The current generation will join them in the same state sooner or later.
