And Democratic candidates?
If I am wrong, please let me know. Thanks.

(13,305 posts)..the NY state Democrats who run as Democrats, use the party money and infrastructure and tools to get elected as Democrats, but then caucus with and throw control of the state to the Republican party?
Hey, they are Democrats, right? Should people keep supporting them so that they can continue to throw their weight and support to the other party?
So.....yeah, it's not as black and white as it may seem.

Interacting with friendly, like-minded people;
Sharing news and information, free from the corporate media filter;

Having fun!
After more than a decade online, Democratic Underground still hosts the most active liberal discussion board on the Internet. We are an independent website funded by member subscriptions and advertising, and we have no affiliation with the Democratic Party. Democratic Underground is a truly grassroots community where regular members drive the discussion and set the standards. There is no other website quite like it anywhere on the Internet.
We are always looking for friendly, liberal people who appreciate good discussions and who understand the importance of electing more Democrats to office.
