93. I agree about what is happening to the Democratic party

It's very disconcerting because I thought that we were the good guys. Republicans = warmongering, neocon corporatist sociopaths. Now we've got this malignancy growing in our party.

It's horrible that we have party leaders who are like this, but what blows me away is that average Joes in the party find this acceptable.

We used to collectively laugh and laugh about how dumb the Republicans were to accept George Bush's lie-based Iraq war. I remember guffawing about the Republicans blaming poor people and minorities for the 2008 housing implosion to protect the big banks. We knew that Republicans didn't want single-payer because they had been purchased by the health-insurance industry.

Democrats were united in their disdain for all of this.

Now, we're fighting these battles within our own party?

It's absolutely unimaginable. I've been a lifelong Democrat and loyal party volunteer. All of this is unprecedented.
