Thought this was an interesting article and historical analysis about the role of centrist Wall Street Democrats and how they deliberately misrepresent history.

The left always think they are the majority being blocked my a small moneyed minority in some conspiracy.

Read the article, there's more to it then just that and it's backed with data.

Please liberals, take the advice and nominate Sanders or Warren. 

And say hello to President Walker.

The problem isn't liberal ideas, it's that working class voters in middle America have come to associate them with coastal elites. Somebody like Brian Schweitzer who governed as an old school prairie populist winning in Montana is proof that progressive ideas can win if they're framed in the right context. The problem is a culture war narrative and shallow identity politics dominating our current discourse instead of economic populism.
