It would be nice if the far left, for once, did some introspection.

184. Couldn't disagree more. The Democrats have ONLY been successful when embracing liberalism.

The country is liberal and doesn't know it. Look at the issue polls! We're a stronger party without the Blanche Lincolns and Ben Nelsons who were economically conservative and thwarted the liberals at every turn.

The Left went down with McGovern. If you recall, that was a rigged election with Nixon, CREEP, Segretti, et al, in full swing. 1972 was an illegal election and Nxon had to resign because of it.

There's a backlash to the Crazy Right and it's single payer, voting rights, free state college tuition, and paths to citizenship for immigrants of long-standing, especially Dreamers.

Get with the program. We are moving FORWARD which is what Progressives do. If you want to go back to Third Way Dems, get out of the way and don't block up the halls -- finally, the times they are a'changing!
