(84,711 posts)set us up for what would come. It's a fascinating state ...as I've said in my earlier posts on this thread.
I'm very proud of our "Moral Mondays" and the work we did voting for Obama...but his VAST MOVEMENT...cut out and left us Activists/Grassroots out of it all. And that allowed what has come to us in the form of McCrory and the TeaBag Party funded BIG TIME by OUTSIDE INTERESTS.
So ....we slog along after the demise of John Edwards..(whose best Message was "Two Americas" but he had flaws and faults and then Scandals in Dem Party Leadership.
We needed help and what we got was the Union Busting Dem Convention in Charlotte, NC for 2012.
Even the DU Administrators who attended that Convention reported the FARCE of that Convention. They hid out eating food and posting from Free Internet at "Myrtle Beach.Com."
At least the DU Admins new WHAT THE SCOOP WAS back then.. Notice how little we see of them these days on this site compared to the EARLY DAYS.
