.... how out if touch that vision was.

If this had been, maybe the 1980 elections, and Dems wanted to cool down the war-on-the-white-male perceptionthat was out there among all of my (white male) blue-collar friends.... then, yes. That would have been very practical, if nothing else.

But to try and do consensus, now? The white males are gone. They joined the other Party. The only way to get them back is to do what only Democrats have ever done. Truly protect the little guy against the priviledged few.

Enact the policies that bring our jobs home. Well-paid people are much happier. They support those who made it possible - in droves!

Thanks again, Ozy. Your post is really stimulating to me. I wonder if the plan we seem to both regret was an misguided attempt to do what I was just talking about? Get back the white, working class male?

Nawwww.....that idea just fell apart in my head.

Still, this nasty thread has turned out good for something!
