The Democratic Party, no less than its Republican counterpart, is a party of reaction. Progressivism will never be its goal and rarely the result of its activities.
From time to time, under social pressure from below, the Democrats will enact piecemeal positive legislation designed to relieve that pressure by mollifying those injured in the class struggle. But then they and their Republican allies will begin the slow but steady revanchement, reversing the gains made by the proletariat through the previous concessions.
Angry entitled Joe.
