Your thesis seems undeniable to me. All of the digital ink is devoted to why Republicans are evil. The result is that Democrats have failed to offer an attractive alternative. The country needs two solid and sane political options. Focusing on the other guy will not produce that.
I am a fan of Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. who made a compelling argument in The Vital Center that is similar to yours. Until Democrats accept responsibility for their own failings, the country will continue to be deprived of the democratic balance wheel needed to maintain the values that we cherish. I look forward to reading your future installments.
Interesting choice of Bear Bryant for the quote that leads a book with Martin Luther King in the title. Bryant’s need to win games gave him first place over George Wallace in the pantheon of Alabama icons by changing the complexion of his teams. You can stand in the hallway but you don’t try to block the Crimson Tide.
Thanks, Guy. Glad to be associated with Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. I need to read The Vital Center, our troubles today are not nearly as different from those of his time as they seem on the surface.

Congratulations on a wonderful first chapter.

Thanks. Very interesting. I had no idea. Had to look up Crimson Tide. Glad to hear he topped Wallace, although Wallace did redeem himself in the end.
