Too Much Democracy

This month billionaire Mike Bloomberg, a lifelong hardcore Republican, is welcomed into the ranks by the Democratic Party National Committee (which violated its own rules to do so). Yet their incessant talking point has been that Bernie Sanders is not a true Democrat although, in fact, he best exemplifies the programmes of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal and Lyndon Johnson's Great Society, which were high watermarks of pro-working class policies. It's been downhill ever since.
