The Liberal Left is the Base of the Party

[sabrina 1]

128. Interesting. Did you know that many of those groups formed a coalition before the last election

including Liberal Orgs, Advocacy Groups, SS eg, for the elderly, the poor etc warning the Dem Party that while they have traditionally been supportive of the Dem Party and would vote Democratic in that election, they would 'no longer be taken for granted and the Dem Party should not take their votes for granted' unless they began protecting SS, angry at the insinuation that SS had anything to do with the deficit. Unions, tired of their issues being dismissed etc.

The Coalition also makes huge donations, collectively to the party, which they stated could no longer be counted unless they were INCLUDED in decision making. They held one meeting that I am aware of and collected huge sums of money, in the millions airc, deciding that they now must start taking care of their own issues.

I am looking forward to hearing more from them.

Hopefully their message will get through. And the next time there are big issues that affect them, they will be invited to the 'table'. There have been plenty of Corporate reps at that table, but few Liberal/Progressive groups if any.

It is foolish to deny that the party is splitting, that Corporatists have way more power now in this party than the base.

Times are changing, the working class isn't doing so well, Wall St criminals have not been prosecuted, they have been 'bailed out' while ordinary people, victims of their corruption, have been left to fend for themselves.

Denying the disgust the general public has on all sides for DC is foolish. We have only one party, so something has to be done to make sure that party represents those who elect them.
