Oldthinkers

It wasn't that long ago when being a Democrat was being with and for everybody -- not just the wealthy.



My, my how things have changed. Now the voices of the majority are ignored by Washington while the few rich enjoy the benefits of federal legislation.

oldthinkers - Those who engage in oldthink. Those who have not fully accepted the new Ingsoc way of thinking.
