"Hate" is a strong word where I come from...

88. Dem voter registration was over 40% in 2008. Left leaning Independents voted for Dems that's how

we won, Everything. On a Progressive, Liberal message. By 2012, the Dem Leadership lost the House. Telling the Left that their ideas were 'retarded' didn't help, condescending to voters doesn't help either. It was clear they didn't want the Left, other than to vote, but not to participate in the party in any way.

And rather than learn WHY that happened, they continued to push Third Way candidates and messaging in 2014 which lost us the Senate.

I don't know who is running this party, but they sure aren't listening to the voters.

And calling people who genuinely do not believe their chosen candidate is best for this country, 'haters' is guaranteed to lose them even more voters.

It's fine though, there have been major shifts before in politics, and we may be approaching that again. Certainly people are not going to stay where they are not wanted, or their ideas are considered to be 'retarded'.

Why should they? And the party cannot win without the Left, so it's time for them to start respecting the people who put them in power, or don't whine when they choose not to do, see those two Midterms, again.
