You seem to be implying there is a false dichotomy: I said Clinton wasn’t a moderate and you then try to state horrific things the Republicans did in the last 25 years.Being to the left of Bush II does not make you politically moderate. Clinton passed “welfare to work” law buying into the right wing sloganing about “welfare queens” driving cadillacs–instead of taxing the rich and more equally structuring wealth distribution.

Clinton defined neoliberalism, which was economically disastrous for the middle and lower classes of the US; the middle class got smaller and weaker and the lower class got worse than that. And the Democrats haven’t been moderate in a long time as they’ve continued to follow the Republicans right.
