DLC
I'm surprised any active Democrats would even admit to alignment with the tossed-by-the-roadside DLC, never mind choose to attend a meeting. It's a new party, folks! There is no ultra-centrist third way. How could anyone miss the new spirit? It's not the Clinton party any more. The rest of us are fired up and ready to go.
