I do think that the Democratic party is languishing.

For most of my life the Democratic party has been the “We’re not Republicans” party.

I think HHH was the last Democrat with both a hard agenda and a personality to bring it.

Since then we’ve had very strong “I’m not a Republican”, e.g., Carter, who was elected because he wasn’t Nixon.

We’ve had Clinton, who was elected because he wasn’t Reagan.

We have Obama, because he is not GWB.

Too true. Even if the Democrats are paralyzed on the economic issues by corporate control, they could at least still fight hard on the social issues. One positive agenda item that ought to be a no-brainer is getting the ERA passed.
