Do you feel that Hillary is being bashed by Democrats??

[cui bono]

115. So then I'm gathering from your posts here that you don't think the Dem Party is or is supposed

to be progressive. So you think the Dem Party is supposed to be center?

Once upon a time the Dem Party was progressive. It brought in the New Deal and a lot of good social programs. Then the Reagan era happened and since then the Republican Party moved right and the Dem Party did as well. Then the wackadoodles took over the Rep Party and it moved to the extreme right and the Dem Party took up the center.

The Dem Party was/is not supposed to be center. It's supposed to stand up for the working people and for social and economic justice. A center party that is beholden to big business does not do that.

I understand more the positions you take though, now that you have stated that progressives are "welcome" in but should not "control" the Dem Party. So basically you want the progressive vote, but don't care what they think about policy? If that's not what you really believe, you might want to know that's how you are coming across.

One day progressives simply aren't going to continue to support the lesser of two evils and then the Centrist Dem Party will either have to contend with a third party or will have to remember where it started and the people who made it what it is today. But with our current president being a self-described moderate Republican and centrists telling progressives they are not needed, our country is in big trouble and there is no party left that represents the people any more. Hillary sure ain't going to do it.
