That left us with the current incarnation of the Democratic Party: pro-war, pro–Wall Street, and pro-markets. In other words, despite their tepid and always negotiable commitment to abortion, gay rights, and prestige TV, they’re as right-wing as any political party should be allowed to be in the twenty-first century. The fact that they’re supposed to be decent people’s only form of political representation is proof enough that we’re living in hell.
