Why should we be rebuilding the Democratic party. Its should have been taken behind the shed in the 1860s. That it survived the shit show of 1968 and Reagan is a miracle.
Something, anything else an inch to the left of it with an ounce less "controlled opposition" feeling would be a huge improvement for all of us.
The USSR did a pretty good job killing it self off. Let's not give Regan or bush that credit.
