(24,606 posts)new book pretty much explains what is happening in this party.
And after reflecting on what I was doing through the late 60's and 70's he pretty much has it right, the professionals that have replaced the working class, is now the name of the game, they are not the name of the game.
I highly recommend this book, because this party use to have the worker(s) at the table, union at the table, poor at the table, you name it.
FDR had outsiders on his team, and the New democrats have other ideas, they want those from the educated and there schools and there professions, about telling us what we need, they don't want FDR, well guess what I want my FDR and his New Deal, and Thomas is collectively correct in his book.
This book reinforced my concept as to why I support Bernie Sanders------------------------its about the grass root and FDR
