Is there really anything wrong with the Democratic Party?

5. No it doesn't

Our future does not look good..consider all the good things that have come about in the nation as a result of Obama struggling against all odds..yet when election time came many Democrats running for office ran from him and most of the base stayed home...I dont see that changing..

We keep thinking that eventually people will catch on to their game ...just as I once though that surely people would sicken at the hate Ann Coultier, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and the rest pedal..but they haven't.

The influence of money is greater than ever...

The problem is we need to purge our ranks of those that have no courage and have the courage to lose elections if that is what it takes to have a party that stands for real change and doesn't run and hide every time someone calls them "left wing extremists."


We need a party will stop accommodating and start fighting and I don't see that happening. Hopefully I'm wrong but a good sign of the future will be the way in which Elizabeth Warren is treated by the party regulars. If they run away from her, then No our future does not look very bright.

I would also add that some 20 years ago a moderate Republican told me that once the people caught on to the extremism that was taking over his party, they would vote them right out of office. Well, 20 years later, that hasn't happened! in fact they are stronger than ever! Do you remember how people right on this very site predicted the demise of the Republican Party four years ago?

I know it's not easy to be the bearer of bad news but if you want honest opinion, there it is.
