The New Democratic Party.

So busy looking behind, making excuses for their 2016 presidential loss, that they forgot the next contest is in Nov. 2020, and the best way to win is to learn from your past mistakes and put up a strong field of candidates for the next contest.

Instead... candidates are still scrambling to get in the race less than a year out, understanding finally that it just won't do to re-run a warmed-over Hillary Clinton-candidate in the body of Elizabeth Warren, or to serve up a corrupt Joe Biden from the Old Dems whose nepotism is called to mind daily with the impeachment entertainments.

I remember when the Democratic party stood for workers, immigrants (legal immigrants, duh), and strivers on their way up. Now, they are just another establishment party, trying to preserve the status quo and carve out preferences for this group or that, acknowledging that the economic and political game is so rigged that it takes "help" from higher-ups (no, not that Higher Up) to find a snuggly ensconced place in the system right now...

Soft they are.

God help those getting fat on favors, when the time comes to stand on their own two and carry their own weight. Nevermind the children, their adults won't be able to move fast enough to avoid disaster.

Ah, Man and the earthly goods he clings to....
