This "new thing" - Democratic Socialism, or whatever somebody wants to call it - it isn't far left or radical. It's not even new.
It's central to what being an American was always supposed to mean.
It's big ideas and lofty goals - like equal rights, a square deal for everybody, no one is above the law, access to the opportunities necessary for living an honorable life. And many more.
For a couple of centuries, Americans have struggled - they've fought and they've bled and they've died - trying to get "all" to mean all.
