(62,325 posts)Republicans, Reagan Republicans, their policies have no place in the Dem party. They HAVE a party that badly NEEDS a 'third way' as they call it. Our party was not the one that needed 'reform'.
If wanting to keep Right Wing Corporate anti working class policies and thecandidates bought by corporate money out of the Dem Party, to keep them from dragging it further and further to the Right is what they meant when they came up with that 'purist' garbage, that is all the more PROOF that purging the LEFT, and the policies they support, the working class representation, attempting to marginalize them in their own party, the Working Class, was the goal which is glaringly obvious now to a large and growing number of Democrats.
We foolishly feel for their 'we have to vote for Republican lite or the more evil guys will win' nonsense for way, way too long.
It didn't work, for the working class. I'm sorry if seeing the people wake up finally, way too late, to see Liberals, young people, the working class, Unions etc finally say 'no more' to failed policies, is disturbing to anyone. I'm sure it is. A whole lot of people got very rich when Liberals allowed themselves to be attacked and pushed aside by Wall St in their own party.
The word 'purist' means NOTHING because it is nothing BUT an attack on Democrats with zero meaning, it wasn't meant to have meaning, it was meant to keep them from having any influence in their own party.
