Jason Bateman: It's time to start calling out his voters,not him.

91. I agree that Democrats

have been blocked in doing a lot of great things in recent decades. But we did move to the middle under Clinton.
True populists like Bernie Sanders have been branded as extreme, when his policies should be the logical direction of the party.
Carter's health care plan would have been much more sweeping than Obamacare, and though Obamacare was forced to moderate by Republicans, Carter had a Democratic Congress. This was an inside job--Kennedy blocked Carter's plan because he wanted to run for president and didn't want to give Carter a big win (a move Kennedy admitted later regretting).

With real proportional democracy without gerrymandering, the Electoral College, and R's packing the courts, Democrats would have done a lot more. But our response to political realities has been to moderate. I'm not sure that has worked out so well for the working class we used to command more of.
