In reply to the discussion: Do you think 'progressives' will find a suitably pure candidate? [View all]wyldwolf
(43,891 posts)120. One more thing: Don't push YOUR luck.
I find it amazing, after all the "progressive" posts calling for purges, calling people DINOs and generally trying to define what a "reeaaal Democrat" is, you reply with THIS? LOL
Perhaps you missed THIS part of the TOS:
Don't be a wingnut (right-wing or extreme-fringe).
Democratic Underground is an online community for politically liberal people who understand the importance of working within the system to elect more Democrats and fewer Republicans to all levels of political office.

and this part.
Democratic Underground is not intended to be a platform for kooks and crackpots peddling paranoid fantasies with little or no basis in fact.
Finally, what YOU posted is better applied to the 'progressives' calling for purges, calling people DINOs and generally trying to define what a "reeaaal Democrat" is.
I'm not worried about you wagging your finger at me. And unless you're an admin, you have no basis for that threat.

Yes it depends on who has the money, and it will be connected to corporations.

No, he's against pumpkins, was my take on it. Progressives aren't pure, they're much too complex.
