In defense of what Kos wrote the Democratic party can no longer serve America as the left wing of the Republican party.
Let me quote one of our Democratic candidates websites to explain why:
This country wasn’t built by Wall Street bankers and CEOs and hedge fund managers. It was built by the American middle class.
That’s not coming from Bernie or Warren — I copied that from Biden’s “Vision for America”. There basically is no one running for the Democratic nomination that is neo-liberal enough to satisfy the people I see commenting on Kos’s post.
...create a Medicare-like public option – a health plan that will be administered by the federal government but paid for by customer premiums.
That’s from Bloomberg! To the people posting comments that they can never back a candidate that has “pie in the sky” ideas — that ship has sailed — there is no one in this race for you.
Provide affordable, universal full-day child care and pre-K for all children from infancy to age 5, serving more than 20 million children with a landmark $700 billion investment.
Still not Bernie! — advocating a revolutionary socialist child care plan is Pete for America.
And it’s time to pass a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and get dark money out of our politics, as well as establish a campaign finance system that increases the power of small donors through a matching system for small donations.
A constitutional amendment to regain our democracy — Amy for America.
So DailyKos rank and file can keep beating the stop Trump and return to normal drum all day and it won’t matter — “normal” where our parties candidates could be the cool kids selling wine coolers instead of vodka is over.
