Thomas Frank calls out blind partisanship by Dems

[2banon]

55. Certainly you're intelligent enough to know very well there's a hell of a lot more to it than that.

The Left is fairly well seasoned on the hard boiled Real Politic and "sausage making" in pushing forward socio-economic and justice policies and legislation for over a century and a half, and certainly working with of course the Democratic Party since FDR the past 7-8 decades.

That's a considerable chunk of time, labor, and experience involved in the ever on going struggle for a more equal and just society and representative government. It's been a very long, hard fought struggle.. with very significant real-life consequences to which the working and middle class have greatly benefited. To stand by and watch the wanton destruction of this is no frivolous trivial matter to be likened to a childrens playground, or tantrum thrown because a toy was taken away.

Let me put it this way:

To witness our party assist the republicans tear down brick by brick so much of our hard fought gains, is tantamount to an arsonist burning down our home, while the Fire Department stands by and does nothing to put out the fire, further adding insult to injury by allowing the arsonist to get away with it.

To denounce the Fire Department's complicity in the destruction of our home, would not be considered a childish tantrum by most adults.
