No. You asked if any members were holdovers from an apocryphal "pro-right Third Way fiasco". lapucelle Feb 2025 #25

Correct... Think. Again. Feb 2025 #27

Why don't you check back in once you've identified the "pro-right" DNC officers lapucelle Feb 2025 #28

That's why I posed the question that asked if any of them were.... Think. Again. Feb 2025 #30

Get back to us when you're done researching your question. N/T lapucelle Feb 2025 #33

It was I who raised the question, I'm hoping someone will get back to ME with an answer. Think. Again. Feb 2025 #34

Yes, those years you mention since 2000... Think. Again. Feb 2025 #56

No, starting with 2000, the green party and other so-called progressives gave us two terms of bush, the beginning of the JohnSJ Feb 2025 #61

Indeed, I see consistent pattern of seizing every opportunity to deliver disparaging remarks aimed at Democrats. Oopsie Daisy Feb 2025 #10

Yes, moving the party from the Left to the center is a rightward movement. Think. Again. Feb 2025 #17

Someone floated the idea this week of disaffected Democrats joining up with antifa lapucelle Feb 2025 #23

I believe you're referring to me asking if that was what could or should happen... Think. Again. Feb 2025 #32

Oh good grief. You are free to "believe" what you want. However anyone who wants to continue that discussion * Oopsie Daisy Feb 2025 #36

I believe it was you that brought up my old post? Think. Again. Feb 2025 #39

Where's the balance? Does anyone want to "attract" a dozen voter at the expense of alienating hundreds? Oopsie Daisy Feb 2025 #37

In the end, David Hogg got the fewest votes of any vice chair who was elected yesterday. lapucelle Feb 2025 #20

Silver linings, I guess. Oopsie Daisy Feb 2025 #38

Appreciate he only got 2 votes. TY. Cha Feb 2025 #72

I kind of agree madville Feb 2025 #26

Some of us have higher standards and higher expectations in that regard. Others don't, obviously. Oopsie Daisy Feb 2025 #46

Oh, you have higher standards than... me? intheflow Feb 2025 #60

I think that our elected representatives should uphold high standards of decorum * Oopsie Daisy Feb 2025 #62
