The party has been moving to the right because 20 years ago the Koch Bros

funded the DLC -- infiltrated and influenced the party and its candidates --

all the while harbored within the party --

Explain to me how we can have Koch Bros influence and infiltration and not move to the right?

Basically, Bill Clinton who brought in corporations because he understood unions didn't have

enough money to finance the kind of campaign he wanted to run was our first Koch Bros/DLC

president --

Gore would have been the second!

It is Democrats who are willing to sell themselves who have moved the party to the right --

and, btw, completely out of agreement with the nation which is liberal --

80% of the public want an end to the wars --

76% want MEDICARE FOR ALL --

including Catholics by 83% who want government health care including abortion coverage --


If you read my additional comments -- and if you understand them -- we do not have time to

wait for 100 year shift in the party!

The planet is burning up -- and it won't help to have two aging and poorly maintained nuclear

reactors in every state as Global Warming effects increase in number and severity.

Politics is a movement -- it goes in one direction or the other -- like trains/buses --

ther eare none sitting in the middle of the road or driving down the yellow line!

They go left or right --
