Ever since being shat upon by the Republicans in 1984 and 1988, the Democrats and the damned DLC have been the "me too GOP lite" party.

Bill Clinton rolled over and played dead when the Republicans killed health care in 1994...and that was nowhere near single-payer.

What it's going to take is a revolt from the people...to make this accursed non-system crash so that something new can be built in its place.
