(16,038 posts)unable to see their own role in the broken relationship. I consider the massive national losses of our party the evidence of a sorely broken relationship with our base.
The war between Democrats and Republicans used to be about common goals, the difference between the two parties being how best to achieve them. For decades, this has no longer been the case.
Because the Democratic party abandoned labor....labor used to be the Democratic base.
We are fighting against people who will never accept what we Democrats stand for
Some Democrats demand a tiny party... intolerance for labor...particularly white labor is dumb and cost us the presidency and virtually everything else.
We lost when the Democratic party supported job killing trade agreements against the wishes of literally 80% of US labor....they went agaist the largest segment of our base and we are scratching our heads over this national loss?
Pretending Democratic party politics isn't to blame for our own massive losses insures more of the same.
