All Too Human by George Stephanopoulos - High school me loved this book and led me down a lot of political paths. Probably started a path that took me to DC and doing some campaign stuff. Of course, now I loathe George and the idea of modern political campaigns, but there was objectively more appeal to it in those days, I think.
Does that cover the ‘92 WJC campaign?
If so it’s hard to conceive how far afield we are from that point in time politically. Growing up with DNC higher ups from that era I still don’t understand how that generation of politicians gave us the modern progressive.
Went from hunting and fishing with moderate Democrats to 50 genders, socialism and gun control in one generation.

That generation of Democrats abandoned the ideals of the Democratic Party of FDR, JFK, and RFK. They sold out the working class to rub elbows with the wealthy elites. Yes, I know the Kennedy's were a wealthy family, but they were also sympathetic to the working class. Shortly before he was assassinated, Robert Kennedy was meeting with Cesar Chavez to help migrant farmers organize in California for better working conditions.
And for all intents and purposes, Joe Biden isn't very far away from Bill Clinton ideologically. There's always been an underbelly of social issue fighters within the democratic party, but they've definitely gotten more vocal and more prevalent in recent years.

There were millions of us who saw the Clintons for who they were/are and the pure filth they were bringing and represented. Also, thank H Ross Perot and his low-IQ voters for giving the presidency to Bill Clinton with a 43% plurality.
