Interesting in some ways, but hopes for a changed DP are simply I diotic.

The DP is The Enemy; It cannot be transformed into even a weak friend of working people, of women, of LBBT, of African Americans . . . .Recognition of this fact is the precondition for intelligent left thinking.

Sanders made clear during the campaign that he would not, as president, materially changed U.S. foreign policy. And to reverse LBJ's claim, if you want to understand U.S. policy at home, study U.S. policy in Vietnam, in Iraq, in the Congo (remember Lumumba).
