6. I agree about needing a next generation FDR...

but we're so far from FDR in years and being taught about it, does anyone but this last boomer generation these days even remember what he stood for?

I don't fault Bernie for not joining the party. He still caucused with us, and was there when it counted. Even party members have failed in that accord at times. But yes, like the rest of us, he's too old to carry the nation. But what he's doing now is worth it all, and with all their agendas being packed to the gills, the democrats ought to not only be listening to what he's saying but how he's saying it. Maybe then they could get some of those "not so dumb" repugs to smarten up and vote outside the "R" box.
