Reply #102: DU is flooded with them

[sandnsea]

I say 10% being generous to them. America is not as far to the left as many DU leftists want to believe. And alot of people who call themselves liberals and progressives are actually leftists, and not in touch with what mainstream Democrats think. They don't listen and are just as stubborn and rigid and sometimes stupid as any redneck they rant about. If an idea is put forward that might help a few people, they'll call it a DLC sell-out if it isn't 100% leftist. I'm sick of it. It's always easier to sit around and bitch than to be the one responsible to actually try to help somebody. If I were a parent in a failing inner-city school, a tutor to help my kid would sound like a pretty good idea. Not a perfect solution, but better than nothing. But applying the same standards to every school is stupid and a waste of money. NO kid in my district needs a tutor, but if we fail again because 94% of kids were tested instead of 95%, our district will have to pay for tutors. Stupid. I can see the difference in the two scenarios, why can't the anti-everything leftists?
