I'll try again. Maybe a poll will be more useful.

I've tried twice to generate some discussion on the topic of what your local Democratic Party is doing to develop candidates and drive voter turnout.

Both threads sunk like a cement-shoed mobster in the Hudson River.

So, let me try something a little different ....

6. In Georgia - at least the metro ATL, it isn't the local parties doing the grunt work

I'm not taking anything away from the dedicated Democrats who are involved at the county and state party levels but the county party has been mainly dysfunctional and the state party has had ethics issues.

There are several PACS and other organizations doing a lot of great work, though.

7. My local party precincts have issues here in Eastern Washington

But they are still pretty good at communicating. I will see. Wish someone credible would challenge that fake congresswoman in my district.

8. Other: There is no local Democratic party affiliate in the three county area! There is one pseudo

Democratic Club twenty miles away, but they never have monthly meetings or activities and all I can gather is they are four people on an "Executive board" who do nothing.

10. My local party is filled with hacks who back corporate whores or more commonly known as

Centerists or Moderates in the Democratic Party.

With each passing day the Party moves futher and further to the right soon to go full circle and become the GOP.
