2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Are you old enough to remember real Dem's? [View all]merrily
(45,251 posts)wanting to return to the days when only white men had food and on to the point that your Reply 63 claims you're actually trying to make. And, btw, your view of why traditional Democrats don't carry the day nationally was not handed down on stone tablets. There could be a lot more to it. You could even be wrong about why it doesn't carry the day.
In any event, few things shut down a discussion among Democrats faster than telling them they're yearning for racial and gender discrimination. On top of that, you seem annoyed and impatient, also not conducive to discussion.
As a woman who has little use for New Democrats, I can assure you, I am not longing to get paid 65 or 70 cents on the dollar or be kept out of state and federal legislatures and other places that were, as a practical matter, good old boys' clubs back in the day. That is not any part of my comparing New Democrats unfavorably to traditional Democrats.
