I'm a Democrat and a Sen. Clinton primary voter and a Sec. Clinton primary voter.

I appreciate your concern, but this sort of economic populism is in response to extreme forces from the right. Newton's 3rd law applied to politics.

Let's let the left have the moment in power - I suspect they will govern and deliver and retain power because their ideas are in line with what people want.

The "broken government" story only works when people are breaking government. When we get people that want to help serve government to serve people, the people will stick with their advocates.

So, since bipartisanship and compromise has led us nowhere, I say lets see what happens under a new era of Democratic leadership.
