The problem with the Democratic Party is their (with few exceptions) total lack of a spine and willingness to fight for the people. They constantly cave in under the guise of trying to be the nice guys to get something done. They keep forgetting that Nice Guys Finish Last even when it smacks them in the head. If they decide to turn even more to the right then the party needs to be drowned in a bathtub and a new party started.

They don't seem to be listening to us so why should be continue to support an institution that has lost its way
