I'd like to believe his opinions would represent the center of DU, with people like me to the left of him, more conservative Hillary Clinton Democrats to the right.

Alas the majority of the U.S.A., and perhaps even sometimes on DU, dismiss Reich as a U.C. Berkeley leftist. He's not.

Democrats in office would do well to listen to him.

Unfortunately many Democrats are essentially owned by the big money players who finance their campaigns.
