In any case, Howard Dean said stuff like "we gotta win guys with Confederate flags on their pickup trucks", but the true leftists today castigate them as gap-toothed racist hicks. There's a lot of selective nostalgia going on for the Dean era. He elected blue dogs, not Bernie Sanderses.
I'lll take Dean electing Blue Dogs over DWS electing nobody.
Me too. I would even go further and readily accept Blue Dog majority in House in place of present Republican majority... Especially - taking into account that "progressive majority" is out of question for many years to come, and i am not that young to wait 30 years.
After all your protestations that you were a "moderate" who like "moderates [of both parties]" wouldn't the consistent application of your own words be that in thirty years you would trying to rally Republicans to support "blue dog Democrats" to keep "progressives" out of power?
