David Graham noted an unfortunate truism of the 2000s: The Democrats Are Now America’s Conservative Party. He's not attempting an actual critique of the long devolution of the party, just noting that the Dems are now the protector of the status quo. He never mentions characters like Joe Lieberman, Kyrsten Sinema, Joe Manchin... Instead, he makes a lazy, static argument that Dems accomplished so much progressive policy that now they want to hold onto it, which means they're conservatives.
I’m really sorry, but GOP is not a monolith too. (Though I’m not a US citizen and haven’t even been there.)
Say, plenty of people calling themselves libertarian (but in fact being mundane classic liberals) vote for it, judging by those interwebs. =\
Bernie is in some things really a communist (I’m not saying he’s a bolshevik FFS). In some other things I wouldn’t even say he’s a leftist, though.
Some of his positions are amazingly sane, and some would mean an economical burden that could become catastrophic in 10 years.
