General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Has Anyone Else On DU Noticed This Lately? [View all]Seeing the support for the 3rd Way, DINO's, DLC and other Republican so-called Lite is counter productive for any politically Center or Left of center people, i.e., actual Democrats.
When you see the excuse that any Democrat is better than a Republican, all that is, is excusing right-wing Democrats for dragging the party ever more to the Right. In the grand scheme of things,the (D) or (R) by the name, should matter less than their policies. Too many people on both sides, don't have the capability of thinking past the letter by the name and so we have the current situation. So we keep supporting and excusing evermore Right-wing Democrats, without holding their "feet to the fire".
Those of us that do and are critical of the current policies, get attacked for not supporting Democrats. Well, maybe these "Democrats" we aren't properly supporting, are supporting too many Right-wing policies.
