by a complicit media. That's what I'm seeing with my own two eyes.

To the extent that it is the Democratic Party's fault, I charge that they hate their liberal base. The liberals in the party are often silenced, while the so-called "moderates" and DLC corporatists and their Blue Dog syncophants are often put front and center. Those are typically the soft spoken, milquetoast, acquiescent Democrats that get the exposure. I do blame the party for its disdain towards the liberal base.
