Reply #22: So having us shouted down is "unity"?

[Matsubara]

What I'm proposing is not a forum to campaign for specific candidates per say, but rather a place where at least things could be discussed more openly.

Like Cindy's possible candidacy. It wouldn't be a problem in the first place if Pelosi was doing what she ought to be doing, which is at least looking into the idea of impeachment. On GD, just saying this gets us ripped a new one.

The lockstep mentality is too much. I'm sorry but there are rome things that I'm too passionate about to toe the party line.


I dunno. Maybe this idea has already been proposed. I just don't want to see good, independent-minded progressives get banned while DLCs and corpora-dems are allowed to stay.


And the flame wars over these issues seem so counter-productive. You'd think the partisans would favor the idea of ghettoizing the left-of-Kucinich folks...
