.. merely because I do not entertain the OP's view which remains irrelevant to the issues we face.

You're also free to assume that my youth means I don't understand the significance of history.

But you'll be wrong: I damn sure understand History - here's what I understand:

1- the history that gave us the outcome of the 2000 elections (NADER) which gave us Dubya and his administration which deceived millions upon millions upon millions of Americans, including congress, and sank trillions in the sands of Iraq. Dubya also gave us a supreme court justice who later voted for citizens united - which democrats oppose, not to mention the other republican appointees to the court who gave us the hobby lobby decision,

2) That the progressive vs establishment is a false dichotomy designed to fracture the party.

3) That the broad tent party of the Democrats has been in existence since FDR and the right has always found ways to divide and splinter groups under this tent for political gain - with success.

I'm sure there's another thread where we can talk about Iran Contra, and the first Iraq War, and the second, etc. I'm sure if Trump wants to go to war, those issues will become relevant again, but the choices were stark and clear last year. Bringing up the spectre of Iran Contra and all the other coded accusations from decades ago to excoriate a party in the present, is rank foolishness. I shouldn't need to explain why it is rank foolishness.
