I've read DU since the Bush days, but become increasingly disheartened at the posters that continue to defend the party even when there are obvious problems. Are Democrats better than Republicans & Trump? 1000% yes. But we need to stand by the Democratic principles and work toward making the party even better.

You don't have to like Cenk to understand that he has point.
