(8,175 posts)The dem party should be made up of a range of ideologies, from very liberal progressive to very moderate. It's not so much that moderates are in the party (and seem to keep ever shifting rightward) and you don't agree with them, it's that they have the money behind them, so they have more power in the party than the middle class and poor, unless we form huge grass roots movements to represent ourselves. We can compete against the money, but only when we are engaged and enraged enough to bring out the necessary numbers, like now. That needs to change. We need to get money out of politics, and then we can work more peacefully with the entire range of own party, not just the republicans.
Money is the evil that is destroying our party. Not conservative dems.
