Lesson from last night: if we had held accountable the Democrats who for the past 25 years did not act like Democrats–meaning, those people who were willing to engage in legalized corruption by pocketing corporate campaign cash, those people who voted for NAFTA and so-called "free trade" and those people who lost their voices when it came time to stand up for the labor movement–we wouldn’t be in the position we are in.

   And, more important, the American people would be better off.
