...or he agrees with me.

One of the points I've made for eight or nine years blogging is that the Democratic Party has abandoned working people, except for a few favored ones - public sector unions being one of the exceptions. I've been derided for it, but it's true so I really don't care.

I'm delighted to see someone on a progblog come out and say it as well.

Here's Brad Reed at Crooks And Liars:

For far too long the Democratic Party leadership has supported policies that have screwed blue-collar Midwesterners as much as any Republican policies have -- after all, remember that the repeal of Glass-Stegal got more than 90 votes in the U.S. Senate and was signed into law by a Democratic president. Instead of constantly asking ourselves, "What's the matter with these silly Midwesterners?" we should probably be asking, "Why the hell isn't our supposed center-left party looking out for all workers' interests?"

Is that a light that I see?
