For the umpteenth time over the past 40 years, the Democratic Party grasped defeat from the jaws of certain victory. I was born in Appalachian coal country and have watched the gradual demise of the industry as a viable workplace. The same scenario is playing out in entire industries in Detroit and Flint and the textile business in the Carolinas. Do the work to help the Democratic Party remake itself. I always thought the apocalypse would happen gradually, a result of rampant narcissism and fractured societies where everyone is out for themselves.
