(22,143 posts)I'm sorry but your post is bullshit. Any Democrat that supports ending Social Security deserves nothing but the vitriol he/she gets. I'm in no way obligated to support or respect anyone simply because they have a "D" after their name, which is what you seem to be implying. If you're a corporate sellout, blue dog piece of shit, I have every right to be against that.
People like you are the reason we keep moving further to the right because you won't take a stand and say "Enough!" Compromising with the right only moves us to the right.
It doesn't really matter, there is no one with any power that's on our side anyway. The cause is lost. So you can go on cheering the centrists that have sold us out in the name of big tents and open mindedness while they starve us all.
Sometimes you have to a hard line stand on principle. If drawing the line on earned benefits and labor rights makes me "like a teabagger" then pass the fucking minute man costume. I'm not willing to negotiate the well being of the elderly and poor so some scumbag richie rich asshole can keep more of his ill gotten blood money. That's exactly what many of the people that we're supposed to support because they're "Democrats" want to do.
I'm not a troll nor should my support of basic FDR style Democratic beliefs be compared to teabagger extremists. These should be our STANDARD positions. People like Grayson and Kucinich should be standard, middle of the road Democrats.
This party is so far off the rails its on Mars.
