Thank you for your comment Chris - yes the Dem party has lost its way but holds a belief they are right. It is terrible because we need a good Democratic Party. Just as we need a good Republican Party (which is what I was saying in 2006, when Repubs lost their way).

Most Republicans I know are not racist. And...many white liberals I know, some of whom are Bernie supporters, are extremely racist towards blacks.

If you can, please read my "What's Wrong with America, and how to Fix it - Part 2" coming out in about a week. I outline remedies that largely align with your suggestions.
