Reply #81: Well, I don't wholly agree with the "death of the Dem party" aspect...

... since our electoral and political systems are exceedingly corrupted.

Given the gerrymandering, feckless corporate media, election fraud, war- and fear-mongering, I think the Democrats have a hell of a fight ahead of them to get back into power.

It *is* up to the Democratic voters to put forth a viable candidate, but the voters are hindered by a sub-standard news media (to understate the problem) and a political system that is still driven by money -- rather than ideas and actual leadership. I'm just hoping that a miracle happens and the Democratic voters rise above the impediments, and nominate another candidate.
