Nothing about what the current candidates are talking about alarm me in the least. Why would Democrats be alarmed by Democratic ideas? It is about time Democrats talk about Democratic things. Republicans for the last 30 years have been "on-message" the whole time and it has worked for them. Democrats need to be "on-message" all the time and pound away about the expensive and inefficient health care system, about the inhuman practices of ICE, about Citizens United and the unchecked power of money in our election system, about gerrymandering and how it subverts our republic. I could go on and on, but you get the point. I am not "alarmed" at all that these things are being raised and discussed.
Oh, and BTW, the same question could be reversed... "Aren't any of my Republican friends alarmed that it seems that there is no such thing anymore as a Rockefeller Republican. I seems most are in hiding ceding the party to the far right?
