In reply to the discussion: Should Howard Dean return as Chairman? [View all]Woody Woodpecker
(562 posts)19. I see you don't want him back.
Afraid that your side might start losing again to real Democrats? The progressive side has always been the real Democrats, not the third way or DLC side. They have moved too far to the right.
It's time to end this charade and put the trust of the Democrats back to its proper place - the progressives. They know what works, and what does not work.
They have voiced out that the tax cuts that * made has created a major problem with one and a third of unnecessary wars and created a massive deficit with no revenue to cover for it. The attitude of "I've got mine, so fuck off" has to end right now and think about the middle class who are being shoved to poverty by no fault of their own, but by the 1%'ers.

Somebody that would once again want a "50-State Strategy"? What a concept!

You're also clueless. Turns out "progressive" is the label most Americans want to identify with...

That's what he said. If we elect a Democratic president, he/she is the de facto head of the party.

If Dean forms a new party, I would join in a heartbeat, and I know many will.

That's correct--the chair is an executor, a secretary, a minder, not THE decision-maker.

I imagine the White House would overrule any drastic changes he wanted in those areas
