(62,325 posts)could be right. But issues are how I judge who is a phony and who is not. There are specific issues that are the reason why many of us are Democrats. For me, I have no interest in the opinions of people who dismiss torture eg, or try to explain or excuse it. Or anyone who tries to appear 'reasonable' while defending Bush policies eg.
And a dead giveaway for me, are those who are disdainful of the 'left' who use words like 'extreme left' about people who are obviously main stream democrats.
I don't know how they can hide their positions on issues for very long. If they do, then what is the point of their 'work'?
But they will never influence true Democrats to abandon their opposition to policies that are clearly wrong and dangerous.
Maybe they should try arguing for their 'cause' instead. But they mostly can't, it's hard to defend the indefensible.
