The Nation article: we must transform the dem. Party

[KPN]

74. Unaware? Really?

Heaven help us.

What people were agitating? Your memory differs from mine quite a bit.

Here's the questions I would ask you: if you are right, why have we lost so many elected positions at every level in so few years? why are you so critical of anyone (especially people who have been lifelong loyal Democrats, some registered for 40 years and more) who thinks and views things differently than you about the Democratic Party's drift over the past 25 years?

We "care about facts" too. Nobody is "making things up" from my read of the posts up-thread. We like to actually "do the work and know what's going on" too. Many of us disagree with you that "corporatists" is an empty slogan -- hell, all of DC is a corporatist cesspool. When are we going to "drain the swamp"?

From my perspective, your views are complicit in getting us to the place we are now at governance-wise.

I understand folks' concerns about sowing discontent and division within the party, trolls, etc. But we shouldn't let those get in the way of making us stronger, making us better. ... Granted, this is an old article and in that way is just bringing up old stuff, but do we have to lambaste the poster? How about just pointing that out and saying we get it, move along as opposed to attacking?
