Great column outlining why some of us on the left are wondering what happened to the Democratic Party. Sure, the Republicans have their own problems, but the Democrats have shifted so far to the right they don't even notice when they sound like spokespeople for the right. They seem to love the insane Middle East wars, and seem to have lost the ability to understand how the right has manipulated them away from protecting labor (NAFTA, TPP) and protecting the very poor.

I have to wonder if Bernie would have won the whole thing if he had run as an Independent. At least my vote for him would have been whole hearted.
