In reply to the discussion: Are we "in the early stages of the birth of a new Democratic Party"? [View all]Wwcd
(6,288 posts)Has the great socialist weighed in on the well organized Democratic Party & DNC who along with campaign fundraisers of great influence as well as local & State & gotv & bringing the great people of this country together to soundly defeat the Trumpublicanism of the Right?
Such a momentuous undertaking with remarkable success and all you drop is more of the same old mantra, the wishful business of those who are STILL hanging their hat on the dream of breaking the Dem Party & its strong members & supporters.
Wtf is the point.
Have we heard anything from Sanders (I bring his name in here because of the article in your post.)
It was the efforts of the Dem Party & the DNC's organizing , that funded, and opened the door to support all state & local efforts to bring some unbelievable Blue wins last night.
Yet Not a peep from the Independent socialist side today and here it begins again, the motto that if you tell people something is broken enough times, well then it MUST be broken!
Sanders & those who want to isolate themselves from the Party that has the power to move mountains, the Party that has always gathered, stood firm & recognized that basic core value of what the Democratic Party was built on & that remains still today, is "Human Rights" above all else, may do so but stand on the side alone or stand with the party that we saw last night.
"The birth of a new Democratic Party"??
Why do we need a new Democratic Party?
Did someone repeat that statement enough times that "it must be true? (gasp)
The "New" Democratic Party you think you're seeing today is exactly the same as the old Democratic Party. The mission statement is still the same.
As much as some would wish for a breaking of the D Party & remaking it in someone elses image, it won't happen.
The Democratic Party has always stood for the rights of all people.
Someone on a mission to break it will find themselves on the side with little power to change anything.
After what we saw with last night's election, the Democratic Party is just as organized, unified & strong enough to affect change for the good of our country.
The old mantra that the Democratic Party is broken, is redundant & overused.
We proved that last night and it came about because of all the work put into an amazing & successful campaign.
It is, perhaps the Republican Party of Trump that is broken & in need of replacing. The Democratic Party is solid, sound & doing absolutely fine.
Thank you
