How the Hell We Got Here: Why the Democratic Party is Splitting

[PoliticalMalcontent]

21. So either folks here are democrats who support the party regardless where the party goes...

or they are democrat haters.

That's some inside-the-box thinking if I've ever heard it.

I disagree, respectfully. I'm a lifelong democrat that is aware of the flaws of a two party system (e.g. rejecting outsiders even if they could improve the party platform). Please don't label me a democrat hater based on your black-and-white thinking. It is being aware of a bad process and the result of that bad process. It's more saving the party from itself.

But please, continue thinking that all people who disagree with where the party is headed are democrat haters. I know I won't change your mind. I'm just tremendously irked by it.

There's a reason fewer and fewer people identify as democrat and republican as the years pass by... and yet Democrats and Republicans are still pretty much all that gets elected because they both work together to ensure their monopoly on the political system.

Postscript: Clinton has tried to redefine what it means to be liberal/progressive all in the name of getting elected. That is some grade-A bullshit. Hopefully it won't become the new norm, but it sure feels like it is. In a world where words have no meaning and our leaders have no integrity you can count me out because what's the point.
