mopek1, I don't think the DNC needs you to "save" them in this discussion.
I understand that you want to "right this wrong" of the thread being "set up" to bash Democrats (in your view).
But it's kind of hard to defend them on this one. Just like it's hard to defend Republicans on social issues.
Both sides are catering to their most extreme base...because the extremists on both sides are the ones who WILL vote, come hell or high water.
I spent most of my life thinking my vote didn't count.
Now I realize that played right into the 2 party system plan. As long as far left and far right extremists are the most consistent voting block, our country will continue to flounder.
People like you and me are the ones who need to get out there and vote. And vote for what is right. Not "party line" voting. But voting on issues and the individual people who are running.
For me...that means taking a long look at third party candidates.
It sure seems to me that anyone who even makes it to the primary races as a Republican or Democrat is already damaged beyond repair.
But that's just my viewpoint.
