There used to be things that were sacrosanct within the party, most notably workers' rights and the right to work, a bullet proof Social security and Medicare programs that Democrats were dedicated to keeping intact. A real commitment to public schools and education. A determination to keeping our infrastructure safe and repaired. No matter which end of the Party your politics fell on from socialist to business friendly, middle of the road, our policy was dedicated to maintaining the above pillars of our society intact and functioning. They were supposed to be untouchable.
WHAT HAPPENED! AND WHY ARE WE ALLOWING DEMOCRATS IN NAME ONLY TO DESTROY THE FOUNDATIONS OF OUR REPUBLIC AND OUR DEMOCRACY? We true American Democrats have to take our Party back to its core principles and policy and kick those other guys back to where they can't hurt the majority of Americans anymore.
Who goes to the local meetings of the Democrats? I used to go and stopped going when I got fed up with the DLCers creeping in and taking over. I was wrong. I'm going back and I'm going to try to take our party back from those DINOs. Whose with me? We have to do it one precinct and one Congressional District at a time and don't forget your state and local offices as well. We have to start fronting candidates for those smaller offices because numbers count.
