    As a lifelong democrat, I have to agree. The DNC is running scared, just like the RNC, but for different reasons. And yes I could be called a geriatric.

    But I believe the problem is that we need to stop worrying about stepping on toes, maintaining a status quo that has never really worked, and has always favored the rich. I think we need a real, true blue, dyed in the fur ass-kicking braying Donkey to shake things up and say, “to hell with pleasing the moderates, we’re gonna lead this nation into the 21st century whether it likes it or not.” We need someone willing to be extremely far left enough to shake up people and wake them up and get truly progressive on their asses.

        We also need to change funding for elections and elected officials. Most of us could never run because we’re too poor and so that only leaves the most wealthy/properly supported of us to take the time and risk to run for any office which just entrenches the “wealthy establishment control” of all political parties.
