In America, representing the new values and switching to the new values puts you in a rather elite club.  Can you picture going into a group that currently consists of Washington, Lincoln and FDR?  It is worth skipping out of one’s oligarch station and making a few enemies among the robber barons to get there.  The allies one would pick up in the process would compensate.

So, what do you think Bob, is blue America on the right track? Do you think Bernie and Bloomberg can muster enough wealth to keep you funded, the UN funded, the illegal immigrant population funded, the legal refugee population funded, the existing welfare population funded, the big city streets paved, the big city police forces adequately sized and supplied, the big city liberal institutions and its infrastructure and all the corruption funded and continue not enforcing laws and continue looking the other way as farmers and workers are getting the shaft by corporations and global conglomerates like its doing today. I'm a hard sell because I'm not a Democratic believer any more than I'm a Catholic believer or a socialist believer these days.
