The Nation article: we must transform the dem. Party

[synergie]

94. Indeed, mine is based in reality, not wishful thinking and revionistic history.

Gerrymandering. Heard of it?

I'm not the one being reflexively and hypocritically critical, and one wonders why it's those who are questioning this that are silence, attacked and abused here.

Ah, but the posts here show that there is no care for facts, and that literally making things up and denying words on a page are the norm, from people who don't do any work and have no clue what's going on, and cannot and will not learn. Many of us are laughing at the way that made up words are being used as epithets and attacks by those who in the same breath whine about our supposed intolerance to differences of opinion. Empty slogans are empty.

When are people going to stop echoing Trump's inanity and realize that their heroes are denizens of that same swamp, and have set up camp there for these many decades?

So now I'm complicit because you've made up some views that you think are mine? Yeah, those swamp denizens that have been in the party for 40 years and who basically did nothing right really have credibility when they blame people like me for their failures, governance wise. We're reaping what you've sown, and in this age, it's people whose views you're espousing who are ensuring that it goes downhill from here, due to the damage they're doing. We've seen this level of guano for the past 17 years, and the same divisive forces are blaming everyone else for "being complicit" for the things they've wrought.

We're not letting the trolls and divisive forces get in the way, I for one am calling them out, since they're complicit in the toxicity environment that delivered us that anti-Establishment outsider who was so concerned with the concerns of White men.

Apparently lambasting posters is what passes for discussion among those who are quick with the attacks and slow with actual understanding. Hanging around for a few decades isn't an education, and yeah, how about not attacking? Or is the hypocrisy, the blame, the divisiveness and the attacks just too much to pass up?

From my perspective a good long look in the mirror is really required for many here, it's like they have no clue what they're accusing others of and what they're doing themselves.
