Not necessarily true. 1984 was a while ago, but it still counts.
I can understand why the Democrats would not want to associate themselves with the current status quo. Mainly because what "we've been doing" has been a complete failure. Trends are trends regardless of the starting point. Under Obama's administration, the average income of the middle class has trended down. Participation rate has trended down. The rich have gotten richer under Obama while the middle class has gotten poorer.
I just found it weird that at no point did Anderson Cooper ask the obvious question of why after 7 years of Obama the middle class has trended in the wrong direction. Of course, we all know that Cooper pulls the lever for the Dems when he gets into the voting booth so I guess I should stop being so surprised.
In any case, I didn't see the need to continue watching that charade.
