I hope and prey that Hilary and her ilk are the last of the "less than Democrats" out there. At 57 I have witnessed the entire Clinton-neo liberal life cycle of the Democratic party. I have heard all the "existential" threats you discussed and the predictions that came with them, and witnessed as none of it came true. Only the most narcissistic of human creatures could expect loyalty after all that. She and her kind will not go gently into the night so the boot must remain on their necks to give the party time to breathe and consider the future.
