Which is the true litmus test issue for progressives vs authoritarian conservatives

32. Wow! That's an argument that I've been trying to make here.

You've expressed it very well indeed.

This is a partisan Website. But we express our opinions here but one is not allowed to advocate for non-Democrats. But litmus tests are not allowed like on Republican sites. That's what too many people here forget.

If people do not like what the Democratic Party is doing they should stop bitching and start doing something about it. Run for precinct delegate and get others who think like you to do the same. The only way the party is going to change is from within. That's what the Republicans have done -- twice!!! Once with the Christian coalition; once with the tea-hadists. The former took a couple of decades; the latter happened quickly, since Obama was elected. (But it has nothing to do with his race -- Right!)

We have to change two things. First, we have to bring liberals into the party infrastructure. We did it in the sixties; we can do it again. Second, we should realize that united we stand, divided we fall. As we see the GOP melting before our very eyes, the last thing Democrats should do is to go into the next election divided. No one issue is worth that when our opposition is so fucking crazy. And our state congressional elections may very well be the most important ones.

Thank you for your response.
