Rep. Moulton challenges Sen. Markey in Massachusetts, calls for new generation of Democratic leaders

25. Unfortunately, he's at the young end of these democrats who were raised

as "centrist" New Wave Dems. Obama was on the other side of the age scale. I fear for our party if this is all that we get from now on. Long gone will be the days of FDR type thinking. I really liked the Clintons, even standing up for Bill in his sexual dalliances compared with repubs like Gingrich. (and that stunk!) But Bill ushered in all this moneyed centrist focus... and it was he who hurt the poor and needy with changes to "welfare," and it wasn't just to reach across the aisle. He was beholden to big money... and so was Hillary... which was the biggest beef even I had with her (although I wanted her as Prez). If these money-centric democrats are all we get as elected for a few decades, kiss the rebuilding of America goodbye. We'll have Democracy to some degree... but not the way WE want it. Forget Medicare for All; forget COLAs that come anywhere near to covering even inflation, let alone how different groups spend their money differently. Obama was the one that brought up the chained CPI for Seniors. I kept waiting for someone to add in a can of catfood in the chain... the whole thing disgusted me... and it does even moreso now since I'm on SS and 2 weeks after I get my check and having paid the bills, we're scrounging for money to keep us and the critters in food.

I've long said I see the Republican party splitting into a least two separate parties. I've also said I can easily see the democratic party doing the same thing... split between money centrists and progressives. And I know which party I'm going with!
