ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Calling a Duer a "right wing Dem" is a clear personal attack.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Apr 12, 2015, 10:40 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: So defending HRC is right wing? Now I've read it all.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Yes, it is. Hide.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: None of these deserve hides.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Hesitated over this. However there is a right wing of the Dem Party, 'conservative' might be more acceptable, but going to leave it as the conservative dems are taking this party to the right so while it's not a pleasant thing to talk about, it is a fact.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
My personal reaction. The notion that the Democratic Party does not have a right wing and a left wing and everything in between is contrary to many DU posts from both the right wing and the left wing of DU's Dems. Votes in Congress are explained that way. Rahm referred publicly to the "left of the left."
The notion that only one wing of the Democratic Party posts here is also contrary to many posts at DU, where DU's left is often referred to as "the far left," and not even as "the far left of the Party, just "the far left," as though we were wild-eyed Communists from 1927 or something.

"The middle class is fucked no matter who wins." That is the sad fact of it.

If the candidates want the votes of the left, they'll have to appeal to the left.

nice liberal bashing. That will definitely motivate people to vote for your candidate. Not.

Definitely. He's not going to be a spoiler and allow what the satirical OP suggests.
