I think it is timely that Brooklyn Bad Boy presented an opposing view to the diary I posted yesterday. In fact, a discussion about the anger that is creating a huge rift in the Democratic Party is way overdue.
For six years the neo-liberal wing of the party has masked itself in a populist façade while pushing through corporate polices, championing cuts to our social safety net programs while enriching Wall Street criminals. Those types of policies have sent the wrong message to American voters because they do not represent true Democratic values; and all true progressives have been offended that the White House and the neo-liberal wing of the party have enacted them in our name.
