In reply to the discussion: DCCC: a gentle reminder about what progressive women do when their rights are in the crosshairs [View all]BainsBane
(57,760 posts)So don't pretend it is. It's a clear effort to turn the Democratic Party into an instrument of white male domination. Besides, you all have posted dozens of threads talking about how you want Manchin gone. Now suddenly you hold him up as an example. How stupid do you think people are?
You all spent the primary denouncing arguments about practicality. And now, when it comes to women's core rights, ability to stay out of poverty or even stay alive, you declare our rights and our lives as too impractical to be a concern.
Your phrase isn't evidence. Data is evidence, and it contradicts your transparent claims. This has nothing to do with wining elections. It's about an effort to engineer the subjugation of the many for the benefit of a few. It's about increasing inequality to line the pockets of the self entitled.
The bright side of this is none of your candidates have won a single race ever, even in the bluest district. It's not surprising. An agenda perfectly at home in the GOP does not work with Democratic voters.
So to answer your question, I don't give even half a shit what letter is next to the name of a white male supremacist. I don't want a party or a nation that seeks to exclude the great majority of the population from the body politic and economic opportunity. And if you think basic values of equality are about purity, you don't know the first thing about what it means to be a Democrat.
So you can take your agenda of Medicare for the 20% to someone who buys your bullshit. I can't lose enough brain cells to fall for this weak and transparent ploy.
