They never wanted to fight in the first place. They only want to fight against conservatives.

I’d say not so much “lite” anymore. Growing government when in power during the former half of the 2000s decade is definitely not “lite” with respect to socialism.

I know. And the leadership are perfect examples of how terrible they are. Bohner and McConnell suck.
