This stuff started in the 1990's under The Bonnie and Clyde show of Hilary and Bill and the 'NEW DEMOCRATS.'
You could not make stuff like this up.
It solidified under President Obama.
This evolved as a reaction to the right-wing Neo-liberal shift of the USA and the 3 Republican terms of the 1980's.
We Democrats can only win if we are like the Republicans.
Not a true alternative party.
