The question is are there enough people who want to bring it back to the left or are most Democrats satisfied with being the 1970's Republicans?

We on the left who think we are the Democratic Party may be sadly mistaken. I hope not. We will find out in a few months what kind of nation we are living in. We might find out that we are the outsiders.
