Reply #36: What it means is

[Gringo]

That we as a party and a society have done nothing but give up ground for 22 years, if a bit more slowly under Clinton, and it's gone far enough. The time to draw the line, and behave like an opposition party is NOW. To not do so is to fold up shop on American democracy. We are that close to it being OVER. The democratic party of today looks like the GOP of 30 years ago in terms of economic policy. Stop determining policy with polls and by comparing ourselves to them (scum) and looking at polls. Do what is RIGHT. That's what I'm about. I don't care if I'm a REAL democrat or not. I'm a proud liberal democrat, though, and that's good enough for me.
