    It is true.

    The majority of the party said Carter was too moderate, and after him instead of correcting course the party has become more “fiscally conservative” ever since.

    Obama looked like a change of course, but he ignored the party so the neoliberals kept their claws in it. So as soon as he got out of office, the neoliberals still ran the party.

        Of course, after the Cheney Administration, anything that wasn’t endless war was going to feel like a change. Just as Biden felt like a change because he wasn’t a petulant, ignorant, egomaniacal child.
