[silvershadow]

[msongs]

1. odd since most dems who lost tuesday were right of center dems, not liberals lol nt

[JoePhilly]

2. Where were the liberal democrats running?

[merrily]

4. You missed the point.

[JoePhilly]

7. No I didn't.

I live in NC. The Dem candidate was Kay Hagan. She beat Liddy Dole a while back. And she just lost to a right wing whack job.

Now ... is the OP saying that we should have replaced Kay? Run someone more liberal?

And if so ... with who exactly should we have replaced her?

14. Core Values

You do not run away from your core beliefs and if you do you are a loser------end of story.
Its like the chicken in a cage with other chickens, if one chicken draws blood the other chickens will peck the one that is bleeding until it dies.
The reporting is that these and others ran from the president and our core values, what do you think
Did Braley run from his core values?
Did Hagan run from her core values?
Did Udall run from his core values?
Did Grimes run from her core values?
Did Pryor run from his core values?
Cloakley, from Mass did not want to go to a debate, but she was caught on this by Rachel Maddow and then she shows up, what were her core values?

8. Oregon, for one.

Jeff Merkley won easily against a Koch-funded opponent, Monica Wehby.

[PatrynXX]

11. one guy and he's the only one who won

do'h. if Clinton saw Tuesday as a good thing we are screwed. the conservadems were kicked out of congress by the voters. Clinton is a conservadem. I won't vote for her. She should join her buddy Chris Christie . They both have a temper too

[merrily]

3. There's never been any logic to purging liberals, but which liberals remains to be purged?

[ellenrr]

22. dems starting losing 25 years ago, when they decided to aim for the center.

and then the right.
what made them think they could out-Republican the Republicans?

[Faux pas]

5. Mike Papantonio

for Prez!

[JeffHead]

15. Or at the very least Attorney General. nt

[Faux pas]

24. Yeah

I doubt the obstructionist right would let him in. I do love him though.

[Old Nick]

6. Sorry. Duplicate:

31. Thank-you

...for posting this. I missed it when it was posted eons ago.

[silvershadow]

32. I found out while going over my post history. I'm busy deleting anything at all that could

get me banned. I'm expecting a purge at some point, and I want to limit my exposure, since I assume being tombstones doesn't' remove them.

[PeoViejo]

9. If Hillary is the Candidate in 2016, purge or not, I'm out.

I'm fed up with this bullshit.

[silvershadow]

10. I right there with you. nt

[monmouth4]

12. Me too but I would add without liberals she can't get elected....n/t

[silvershadow]

13. I don't want her elected. In fact, if the Democrats nominate her, they will lose me, and it

will be forever.

[ConservativeDemocrat]

26. Will you promise to leave the D.U. as well? Since you'll no longer be a Democrat?

I mean I hate to lose voters, but honestly if the few dozen extremist haters who just camp out here to spew bile upon Democrats just went to revleft.com and left the people they so openly despise alone, I think it would make both places much more pleasant.

Purity trolls drive the people we need away, anyway.

27. Certainly. And happily. nt

28. Bookmarked.

17. Same with me.

[Dustlawyer]

23. This is what we need, to be fed up with this bull shit! Hillary is just more of the same.

We need an all out push for Bernie and his ideas of eliminating campaign contributions, publicly funded elections, increasing SS, raising taxes on the wealthy, infrastructure, student debt reform....

[appalachiablue]

25. Agree. The issues you raise must be addressed. No more Third Way, corp. candidates or agenda

for me. Done with that and Clintonistas unless they Really change. Go Bernie, Warren, Grayson and Dean if he's into it.

[MissDeeds]

30. I'm ahead of you by a few weeks

I was a Democrat all my life, but recently changed my party affiliation to Independent. I don't recognize this neoliberal party; it doesn't represent me.

[HereSince1628]

33. I'm willing to hold off until Sanders indicates where he wants his movement's future

I think there are advantages and disadvantages to leaving the party. But being the strongest reform movement in the Dem party is an easier thing to pull off than trying to be influential as an also ran party competing with other left organizations for voters.

Those things are why Sanders ran from inside the party so I think he may agree with that assessment

[L0oniX]

18. Get ready for the liberals & progressives to purge the party of Clinton and her 3rd way DLC cronies.

[silvershadow]

20. One can only hope. nt

[blkmusclmachine]

19. Hillary. Queen Blue Dog. Third Way acolyte. Mrs. Triangulation. And right of "center."

[silvershadow]

21. Yep. She ran and lost. That should give the establishment pause, no matter how much

the Clinton machine has kicked into high gear.

[Pharaoh]

29. kicking for later
