I haven't been motivated to do OPs in a while. Not that I ever did many. I feel an obligation to parent a thread I start and it's too much of a commitment sometimes.

I am 100% sure the Party knows the stats and it's made it's choice as to what to do about it. So, the status quo must be God's will.



That being the case, I don't know what is to be accomplished by throwing red meat (read meat?) out on this board. It would impact nothing in real life and I'm not feeling especially masochistic today.

You may or may not recall: After the last mid-terms, Mike Capuano (one of the best pols ever) and Stephen Lynch, both Mass Reps, suggested that, given the results of the last two midterm, considering a change in strategy might be wise. That was literally all they said--just that vague, that mild and that sensible.

The story got posted here and Capuano and Lynch got torn to shred by the usual suspects. Not their position, mind you, which was hard to attack, but them as politicians and the fact that they dared say anything at all.

That is what DU has devolved to anymore.
