I've been thinking about the things we don't talk about (in the USA). We can talk about many things here. There are no rules forbidding it. But even here, some of these subjects are hot potatoes. And if there is an official story, parts of it are likely to be defended. It is as if we live lies, which must not be challenged.

The civil war on the left in 2000 was between the DLC/NAFTA/Third Way and the economic progressives.

Bradley lost. There followed an election rife with "Lesser of Two Evils" and "ZOMG Supreme Court".

An election that shouldn't have been even close was lost by Gore/Lieberman & the DLC/Third Way crew.

Who are still here, with periodic rebranding, still screwing progressives for the 1%.
