Cornel West, right?

"The neoliberal vision of the Democratic party has run its course. The corporate wing has made it clear that the populist wing has little power or place in its future. The discipline of the party is strong on self-preservation and weak on embracing new voices. And party leaders too often revel in self-righteousness and self-pity rather than self-criticism and self-enhancement. The time has come to bid farewell to a moribund party that lacks imagination, courage and gusto."

Perhaps you have the same veiw of the Democrats? If so, I would suggest JPR as more embracing of that veiw than Democratic Underground, don't you think?

And a progressive can be for a multi-payer universal health care plan, just like the ones in most of the rest of the developed world.

I am a progressive and of the Left. I don't feel I need to prove my progressive bona fides to you. Especially you.

All the best ...
