(9,314 posts)Yes, I know some of the DLC waded into the Third Way waters and are still around. But I have the feeling there are more of us FDR Dems than Third-Way Dems. I think if we joined together and hit back, and especially give a lot of publicity to the difference between them and us, we can make progress. I am just not the type of person to roll over and start again. We should never have let the Bill Clinton influence get this far, and I think we should at least brainstorm on how to get our party back. After all, many of the programs we heartily embraced were passed by the Democratic party. How can we leave our heritage behind? And better yet, why should we?
Kick the Third Way out by constantly hammering their positions which are not the positions of many, many Americans, not just the FDR Dems but many Republicans as well.
JMHO
