I think it's been clear, going back to Will Rogers astute comments, that the Democrats have not always been masters of strategy.
I think the classic Left, the folks who care about worker exploitation and discrimination, about quality healthcare and childcare and safe working conditions and clean air and water, all the places on the political landscape where positive change can keep happening and we could start to catch up with other developed countries, should split off and form its own party. Everyone else seems to be engaged in quiet acquiescence to plutocracy. The Gilded Age (no. 2) has given way to the Age of Acquiescence.
