Clinton (Bill, not Hilary) would easily be considered a moderate-- hell, even a "liberal Republican" by current standards if you look at his body of work when he was in office.
The biggest issue with the Dem party right now is that they are spending too much time and energy on social issues and not enough time on governance and the things that are important to running a nation.
The biggest issue with the Rep party is that they are clinging too much to the Bible and not enough to good governance and the things that are important to running a nation.
There was a time when if the issue was important enough-- both sides were able to work together to get shit done. Those days appear to be behind us--- which means our only options are either a stalemate where nothing gets done-- or giving one party all control, which is also a bad thing-- either side with unfettered control is going to be disastrous.
