Pt1The Democratic Party is the graveyard of social movements. It will never allow systemic left-wing change. It never has, & never will.The only thing that has ever moved the US government to the left have been independent leftist movements that work outside the Democratic Party

Pt3because it deprived corporations of property without due process of law, Theodore Roosevelt was angry. Such decisions, he said, added “immensely to the strength of the Socialist Party.” By 1920, forty-two states had workmen’s compensation laws.

Pt13Another analogy: The Emperor’s New Clothes An Emperor of a city is fond of clothes. Two imposter weavers enter his city & tell him they will create a suit for him that would be invisible to stupid people. The weavers only pretend to weave the suit & present the fake suit

Pt14to everyone in the city.Everyone who looks upon the suit is troubled by what they cannot see, & whether they are inadequate or not. Everyone lies & says they can see the suit. A child breaks everyone’s delusion by shouting out,“the Emperor is not wearing anything at all!”
Replying to @marwilliamson
Pt15 The apologists, & those making excuses for Dems are akin to everyone who lies and says they can see the suit. @jimmy_dore is the child who breaks the delusion by shouting out, “the Emperor is not wearing anything at all!”

Pt19 Again:The Democratic Party is the graveyard of social movements. It will never allow systemic left-wing change. It never has, & never will.
