General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Well Sen. Warren, Sen. Sanders, you're both on the record against Obama and Democratic Party. Nice [View all]countryjake
(8,554 posts)...and I wonder to whom you're directing that snide comment, 'I'm encouraged by the use of "our party"'?
I'd be willing to bet, dollars to donuts, that I am an older and crankier Democrat than you.
Those disaffected voters that I spoke of are members of the Democratic Party, they just no longer see any reason to get up, get out, or mail in their vote. Anyone who did any walking and talking last fall to get people to the polls or, in my case, get them to fill out their ballots and actually send them in, surely knows that what I say is true...we were NOT working off of lists from some other party.
The meme went out a long time ago, Wall$t sees both Senators Warren and Sanders as threats, there were articles on exactly that a couple of yrs ago, back before this country was even in full campaign mode. And every single time either of those two speak out about anything that could possibly build a concrete solidarity within this nation, to defeat this reactionary racist right-wing slide we're experiencing, that same meme flares up again, larger than it was before, for only one reason...divide and conquer.
I'll stick with the Resistance Movement, thank you very much, because I believe that is where our Hope ultimately lies. Nobody has ever won anything in this country by sitting around on their asses, carping about this or that, without actually getting out there, into the streets, and standing up to TPTB.
