A question for knowledgeable DUers...?

6. After Dems won everything in 2008 people were hopeful for real change. But then people were told

that 'we can't pass Progressive Legislation EVEN THOUGH WE WON, because of the BLUE DOGS. Or DLC/Third Way Dems. We had a majority in both houses and the WH but then the excuse became 'The Blue Dogs'. Before that it was THE REPUBLICANS. People worked hard to get that majority, people spent money they didn't have. We were ELATED in Nov 2008! What a victory!! But then, 'sorry, we need more than a majority. We can't do what you want us to do!

So the voters responded, they kicked them out in 2010.

The Party Leadership who were responsible for literally TELLING voters who was responsible, responded by BLAMING THE VOTERS.

Remember, Progressive Dems HELD THEIR SEATS in 2010 except for one that I recall. It was the Blue Dogs who lost.

Again in 2014, after hearing over and over again that even when we WIN we DON'T win, because of the 'conservative dems'. So once again, the voters responded.

And once again the Party Leadership turns a deaf ear and BLAMES THE VOTERS.

I don't believe that we cannot get a Progressive Dem elected in Southern States. I think we've been sold a lie. It is ludicrous to believe that people will vote against their own interests when they have a choice not to do so.

I think it suits Corporate Interests to place DlC/Third Way candidates in the Dem Party so they have one party totally on their side, and HALF the other party.

It is insulting to those states to simply say 'we can't get a good Democrat elected there so we have to 'settle'. Nonsense. I don't believe it.

But watch them once again 'BLAME THE VOTERS' who are only reacting to THEIR excuses for failing to use the power of WINNING.

So I don't expect them to learn anything from this, it isn't in their interests to do so.

But we will see OPs and comments here once again BLAMING THE VOTERS and I for one, will totally reject that. People are figuring it all out and that is why these Corporate Dems are losing while Progressive Dems are holding their seats for the most part.
