Many here have lamented about "establishment" Dems. Only to be chastised by "the powers that be here."
The party has slid to the right since Bill Clinton ran for president.
The Democratic party did not get support from those who lament for the reasons stated in the op. I was one who lamented, however I have always voted for the Democratic candidate since Reagan started screwing the working class.
Off the top of my head I can only recall one incident which I think demonstrates the slide to the right. It was a debate between Hillary and Bernie in Flint, Michigan. The moderator asked if fracking should be banned. Bernie said yes, Hillary said well it depends on what the local people want .
