    Just ask about DC statehood and the Dems’ inability to enfranchise over a million US citizens.

    As soon as you scratch this problem, you discover how shallow and unserious the party is in “protecting democracy”.

      I agree, I’m just trying to get others to see how little “resistance” the Dems pose to the more naked fascism of the Repubs.

        I think the case of DC Statehood is an obvious example. Whether we’re talking about Kennedy, Clinton, or Obama, we’re talking about a party that’s deliberately disenfranchised over a million people on their watch.
