(2,941 posts)and worse, the more the DNC bashes liberals, the more are quality of life will continue in decline in America as the differentials between core Republican and core Democrat revolve more and more around two issues - gay marriage and abortion.
Things like income disparity, environmental protection, police brutality and our post-constitutional police state, NSA/CIA, all are acting to suppress wages, oppress dissent, and keep a small minority of oligarchs in power.
Never forget that in 2008, DNC calculated that Obama won because of his appeal to conservative and independent voters. DNC went to town rewarding conservatives for their hard work. Then, the 2010 disaster was blamed on liberals not voting after we were called retarded, dirty hippies, pony lovers, etc. Amazing. Incredible. If MLK gave his "Dream" speech today, conservative Democrats would accuse him of rainbows and ponies.
It was a convenient deception, tailor made for a conservative media narrative.
Much of the decline of our quality of life parallels the decline of the unions in America. The anger and hatred towards liberals is just an extension of this, amplifying the crushing class war between the rich and non-rich.
If you want to improve the quality of life in America, start listening to liberal voices and stop being embarrassed and ashamed of the L word. DNC has let Fox News control the narrative. At one point you could argue that beneath it all, they were still liberals. After what we've seen with torture, militarized police, spying, fracking, wall street crime, nothing could be further from the truth.
