"Hell yes we're liberal & here's why." Then they should have recited the Joe Conservative essay. Instead, they hopped on the same gravy train the repubs are on & have been running from liberal policies ever since. Sure they toss us a few more crumbs than the repubs, but they are not interested in changing the direction of the train.

Dem leadership has no one to blame but themselves that there is a huge enthusiasm gap for their corporate candidate. As soon as my states caucus was over I changed my party affiliation back to Green.
