Populist Reform of the Democratic Party

i have been a progressive for a long time. i have not evolved, or become more nuanced or morphed into a centrist over night, or in a matter of minutes. i have opposed the rw since ronald reagan, and imho, the last real democratic president was jimmy carter. at least he was the last one who didn't feel the need to sound or act like a republican, or proclaim himself one. i was cautiously optimistic about Clinton , but was disappointed enough to joint the green party. i had no illusions about Obama, but i too was caught up in the historic precedent of his election. i will never forget that night in Oakland...people were literally dancing in the streets. but oh how little is takes to keep us happy these days. unlike some, i cannot blame the popularity of Sanders on years of rw propaganda from the usual suspects. I blame it on years of rw propaganda from the republican wing of the democratic party. centrists, third way, DLC...whatever they call themselves. clearly this a a battle for the soul of the party, and Clinton admits she stands for...whatever it takes to win. in that respect, she is not much different than her husband.
