94. I think we all deeply resent


-- the DLC deciding for us what our priorities are, and deciding for us who the presidential nominee should be. It did work once, but that was because the Democratic Party was being reactionary, just reacting, to the Right.

Now it's time to generate, not react, and the DLC is not generating. They chase the Right.

If they get to set the agenda, we lose a lot of liberals who decide to stay home and not vote at all. And that is what has been happening.

Please remember, B*** didn't win the elections. Neither of them.
