(50,983 posts)There are plenty of reasons for Democrats to raise hell about the Democratic Party leadership and the direction they are taking the party.
Embracing common core and privatized education is not in keeping with long held Democratic Party ideals. It is an attack on the loyal teacher's union.
Advocating Chained CPI for Social Security when we (FICA) have paid in a massive surplus that was squandered in wars of lies is not in keeping with the ideals of the Democratic Party.
And pushing destructive trade deals that have shipped our jobs out of the nation is not in keeping with the principles of the Democratic Party. We can see that by looking at the mistakes of the 1990s.
If you want to lie down and believe anything they tell you, go ahead. But do not expect the rest of us to act like sheep. We are from the 1960s, we don't play that bullshit.
