@dynamic @celesteh The real painful lesson from 1972 was how easily the Democratic Party will abandon the left.

I'm genuinely curious as to why you say that that is the lesson.

Thanks for the links. I don't dispute that the Democratic Party has not been a good ally to the left, going back to 1972 and before, but could you pull out the specific details that lead you to see this as the lesson of 1972 in particular?
