Sen. Joe Lieberman is absolutely correct about the future of the Democratic Party

I saw this on Memeorandum.com and I was quite happy that this man said it.

Via The Hill:

Former Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) argues the Democratic Party will not win elections if the liberal wing of the party takes over.

“Here is my fear about the future of the Democratic Party. In a way, relatively speaking, Hillary Clinton was representative of … center-left of the Democratic Party, not the pure left,” Lieberman said in a radio interview with John Catsimatidis on Sunday.

“Now I think there will be a real attempt by the left-left of the Democratic Party to take over the party, and I don’t think that’s the way to go to make it an effective party,” he continued.“It’s certainly not the party that I got drawn to … it’s not the party that I worked so hard for when Bill Clinton was president and it’s not going to be a winning party.”

Sen. Lieberman also warned:

“To me, both parties better watch out not to go back to the extremes — left and right — and not working with each other. I think that the public really wants both parties to get together, work together and solve some of the problems of our country, make the future better,” he said.

Sen. Lieberman is absolutely correct. The Democratic Party, as a whole, from 2007 until now has lurched further to the left, than it was back when Bill Clinton lost. They have embraced such nonsense as “Social Justice Warrior” idiotic nonsense, they have taken political correctness to a maddening extreme and it shows; many people who I know personally, who were life long Democrats, basically decided that the Democratic Party did not represent them anymore and voted for Trump.

The truth is that the Democratic Party needs to get its act together or risk being relegated to the dustbin of history; where people talk about a once great party that destroyed itself from within. This happening, would be a shame; because the truth is folks, the Democratic Party was responsible for some of the greatest achievements in the early twentieth century, that made the lives of the working middle class in this Country, so much better.

Things like: Social Security, Medicare, Labor Laws, Child Labor Laws, 40 hour work week — all of those much needed accomplishments, were done by the Democrats.

All of that to be thrown to the wind, because of a few uppity extremist minorities?  This seems quite foolish. I would hope that the Democratic Party would come to its senses.
