Hi John. Thanks for taking the time to respond. I appreciate your insights. "Democrats today look like a radical, ivory tower elite, out of touch with voters' interests. This is an easy story to sell." It is like the Dems are trying to lose, and I'm one of them. You hit some of the gaps in my essay and hopefully gave readers more to think about. I hope we don't see your predicted massive shift to the right, for the sake of the climate and all the consequences down the road, but you seem to have the Dems pegged.
