In their own words. An "intellectual buyout" of the Democratic Party.

105. I once thought about writing an OP on DU asking,

"If you are a conservative or right of center moderate Democrat, what made you decide to be in the Democratic Party instead of the Republican Party?"

The thing is, I already know the real answer. So, the answers in the thread would just piss me off for being the lying excuses they would be.

It is a strategic move and an underhanded one at that. Their real goal is to keep moving what is considered "the center" further and further right and cut liberals completely out of the political process. There is no mealy-mouthed lying excuse the Third Wayers could put into a reply that would explain THAT fact away.

What better way to keep the Democratic Party going further and further right than to join it and work from the inside to make damn sure liberals have no power at all? The higher ups in the Democratic Party are corrupt and/or brain damaged and more than willing to sell the party out to those disgusting, deranged, sadistic people. So, what little opposition there is to the complete takeover of the Democratic Party as a new party for right wingers only gets told to STFU, bend over, and take it from Reagan worshiping, homophobic, sexist, racist, right wing dirt bags.

We have no real choices. We are expected to pretend we believe we do, but I cannot do that. I have never been able to pretend I believe something I know is bullshit. That they expect us to pretend we don't see through them is just salt in the wound. Our only choices are to put up with fucking Dixiecrats, Blue Dogs, Third Wayers, and a plethora of other sadistic, right wing fuckheads inside the Democratic Party or go off and huddle in the corner with the Green Party and hope one of them has a lot of weed, heroin, or something even stronger to numb our senses for the rest of our lives, because that party is going nowhere in America. The Green Party doesn't have enough money to buy an election for dog catcher, much less a position at the state level, and forget the national level. Elections are bought nowadays, not won. As long as the people in charge of the rules about that ARE the corrupt assholes who don't mind selling out the people of America, that is never going to change.

At this point, the left is better off just getting as stoned as fucking possible, stay that way, and try to bide our time until we finally get to die and finally get the fuck away from Third Wayers. There is no relief coming and no hope going against two right wing parties to try to make America a better place.

I feel pretty much the same way about being stuck in an impoverished BLUE county that is more right wing than many blood red Republican counties. There truly is no difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party where I live. It is all ultra right wing rednecks who walk around covered in female deer piss, drunk off their asses, abusing anything that doesn't have a dick swinging between its legs, and even some that do, and praising God all at the same time. Both "sides" tell me I'm going to Hell for being gay and both make my life a living Hell here. I can't wait to die just to get the fuck away from them. Raping lesbians is expected of good Christians here and they do it routinely, no matter which political party they have joined. There are no people on Earth worse than these people in this county where I live.

That is why I finally decided not to make that OP. I already know the real answer and hate them for it worse than they can possibly EVER imagine. The thing is, I think I hate them even worse for expecting me to pretend I don't see through their real mission. Once you see it, you cannot un-see it. Then again, I have never been very good at pretending I don't smell bullshit when there is a huge, steaming pile of it in the middle of the room.
