Seems a lot of people want the original progressives out.

[mmonk]

The problem is we were here first (20th century on). We should get shoved out? The ranker over us finally fielding a competitive candidate again has reached a ridiculous stage.

[Flying Squirrel]

1. Rancor nt

3. You called?

2. Hillary now claims she's a progressive

[Spitfire of ATJ]

7. SNL nailed it with the line, "Wait. You like this stuff?"

[PatrynXX]

13. if Progressive means Conservadem sure kick em out

Liberals were here first

[EndElectoral]

18. Well, technically a pragmatic progressive...in other words...

Someone who thinks a progressive thought, but says..uh, ..it's too unrealistic...no, we can't do that.

[stillwaiting]

19. She calls herself a progressive to try and impose HER viewpoints ON progressives.

She is directly telling us that she believes that this is as good as it gets (i.e. what SHE says is possible).

She is attempting to manipulate and control us to have a conversation on what's possible within the boundaries set by her true constituents (i.e. banks, insurance companies & industry that has made her a multi-millionaire). She has been paid very well to do this, and she has succeeded with a lot of us.

She keeps expectations very, very low.

Hillary ------> "No We Can't".

Bernie ------> Fuck that Shit.

4. Just wait a few weeks for her to become a moderate again.

[Hekate]

5. Seems a lot of people want a purity test for being a Democrat

[Ken Burch]

14. It's not a "purity test" to expect our candidates to be consistently progressive.

Are you saying we have no right to expect anything from the people we work to elect? That we should always settle just for electing somebody who calls her or himself a Dem? That we have no right to have any standards at all?

There will never be any excuse in this or any future campaign for Democrats nominating the least-progressive candidate in the race. HRC can't get any votes Bernie couldn't get, and probably gets a lot less.

The country isn't THAT rabidly anti-left.

[stillwaiting]

20. Seems a lot of people don't like the self-described "New Democrats" that have...

... invaded and taken over our Party.

Why do they call themselves New Democrats?

[Spitfire of ATJ]

6. I look at it as proof that the DLC never really went away.

[jalan48]

8. The Third Way folks were hoping we would just go away.

Then it would be easier for them to become the 80's Republicans that they so dearly want to be.

[Jack Rabbit]

9. The Third Way doesn't want us to go away

They want us to sit dawn, shut up and vote for the Lite Republicans they choose for us. You know, the ones that helped the Republicans destroy the middle class.

I think we can choose a candidate better than they can.

[jalan48]

12. I was referring more to what we stand for as Progressives.

[Jack Rabbit]

16. If that's what they want . . .

Give me some of whatever it is they're smoking.

We aren't going anywhere.

[jalan48]

17. I agree-I'm not changing now.

[AmBlue]

10. Pssssst!! Not only were we here first....

Our numbers are legion!!

[sadoldgirl]

11. The DLC highjacked the party, and some people

are surprised that the owners want it back?

[Skwmom]

15. They want ANY Democrat that won't blindly support their actions out. n/t

[bigtree]

21. should have seen how many people here dissed the progressive caucus

...when I pointed out their overwhelming endorsements of Hillary, save the chairman and one other.
