Denying that is is only going to guarantee the party disappears.
We have a clear choice now. Either get rid of the fossils that haven't had any bold ideas for 40+ years or else watch the Party evaporate before our eyes.
Every year, fewer people are willing to identify as Democrats, despite the fact that very large majorities want the policies we say we believe in. Let that sink in. What that means is that WE are the problem. WE have to change. We can't expect to be rewarded for being the adults in the room or always being the first to compromise.
We must approach this as a war for the very existence of our country. And unfortunately, the vast majority of our fellow citizens just don't care, and are never going to care until it is too late. That's a reality, but we cannot allow the Democratic Party leaders to also be fat, dumb and happy.
I believe the originator of this thread has the best of intentions, but we are way past that point. These leaders have been driving people away for 2 generations. We can't mount a comeback with this leadership.
