    The Republicans’ only agenda is to hurt people and further enrich the wealthy, and you say the Democrats’ only goal is power? Stopping the Republicans is a worthy goal all by itself.

      It is. But I’m still frustrated that the Democrats cannot put together a coherent platform for change that has any juice in it. Things are not getting better for people and need to change, but the Dems have not strongly pushed a real platform in a while now

      A) I was referring to the tone deaf Supreme Court and their larger policy project.

      B) The Democratic Party’s leadership is not the same as it’s voters. But, the fact that you’re content with their only achievement being “stop the Republicans” proves my point.

      Nothing would make the Democratic leadership happier then to continue to shift the party more to the right to “pickup GOP moderate voters”, because ultimately they are all diehard neoliberals. This mentality let’s them off the hook for not doing anything to advance larger leftist policies that their voters want, would help the country, but hurt their donors, as well as their own stock portfolios e.g. Universal Healthcare, Pro-Act, etc.
