In reply to the discussion: J. Sanders: If the Democratic party doesn't become progressive, there will be a third party [View all]KitSileya
(4,035 posts)The problem is the attacks on the Democratic party, mere months before them most important midterms ever. Winning in 2018 is crucial - most likely there won't be any coming back if we lose in 2018. Trump is setting himself up as a dictator, and the GOP is going along with it. If the Democratic party doesn't have a significant increase everywhere in the midterms, we're screwed. And I sincerely question the loyalty and patriotism - not to mention the humanity - of anyone who would rather use time right now to attack the Democratic party rather than work to defeat the GOP. You don't criticize the construction of the life buoy as it is being thrown to stop you from drowning, you clasp it and let it help you float. When you are on dry ground and have been checked out by EMTs, then you can present your better life buoy designs.
