In reply to the discussion: The words "Democrat" and "Republican" are pretty much meaningless [View all]treestar
(82,383 posts)If you are a Democrat, you are part of the party. One Democrat sitting somewhere demanding the other Democrats do things differently will only work if you are persuasive. And then it has to work. Democrats do win elections. It is not meaningless. To start, had Mittens won the election in 2012, a lot of things would be very different.
There are so many posts on this board trying to undermine the Democratic party and claim it is not good enough. More than the Republicans! Republicans win elections too, in case you haven't noticed. That is where the voters are in general in this country.
Claiming the Democrats are no different from the Republicans is worse than the way the right wingers claim there is no difference between Democrats and Communists. At least they attack the other side and not their own.
