The Crazy Left

[sabrina 1]

259. How do you define 'far left'? Was FDR 'far left' with his social programs and concerns for the

poor and working class? I hear that phrase over and over but when asked to define it, we rarely get into the issues, which is how we define the left and the right.

I encountered it mostly on Right Wing sites and up to fairly recently never saw it on Democratic Forums. So exactly how do you determine who is what we are now told is the faction that is as bad as the insane TP, in this party?

As for this:

They would get father down the road to getting the society that they claim to want if they would get off their high horses and work with people that fundamentally share their core values instead of finger pointing and going into character assassination.

Who on the Left here has posted OP after OP 'character assassinating' DUers?? We have had multiple OPs attacking DUers here with labels, too many to list here such as 'emoprogs' 'crazy left' etc filled with the same kind of attacks you expect to see only from disrupters who want to divide this party. And when WE respond to them, it bothers people? Well that's too bad because I have always responded to attacks on Democrats from the first day I posted on the internet. And will continue to do so before their attacks are accepted as even close to being true.

WE, the 'Left' that you refer to just got finished with ten years of doing EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAY WE SHOULD DO. We 'got off our high horses' and worked with our party, making concession after concession in 'order to get things done'. AND WHERE DID ALL THAT GET US??

All it did was give POWER to the most insane people in politics which they used to practically bring down the government.

So now we want to see our Party do what they should have done. never compromise with people who are WRONG on policies, who have had ten years of concessions (Reid has even admitted this) and all that did was to make things far, far worse than they were for millions of people.

I'm sorry if you think we should just STFU. We did that, now it's way past time for US on the Left, to start making demands rather than allowing the most insane factions to be the ones making demands while we are expected to keep conceding more ground to them.

If that is what you view as the Left, speaking up, making demands for a better society as the 'faction' being attacked here, then I could not disagree with you more.

We need TOUGH leaders. Leaders who will NOT negotiate away the people's best interests. We needed that long ago.

So we saw how not conceding works finally. Just as the 'crazy left' has been saying for so long.. Let's hope from now there will be the same commitment to not caving to them that we just saw and enough of the nonsense that we 'can't win'. We don't win when we dont fight.
