Unions, Liberal Organizations, Advocacy Orgs for SS etc?
They made it clear that they would vote Democratic in 2012 but with the warning that if things continued as they were, they could no longer be counted on in the future and were forming the Coalition in order to prepare for the future, a future where their issues were considered to be important by the Dem Party once again.
Your comment is one of the reasons why people are being driven away from the Dem Party. Maybe that is the intention?? Who knows, but you cannot use the fearmongering anymore, or telling long time Democrats that their votes don't matter, as you just did, it won't work at this point in time.
This is precisely why Dems are losing support. Sounds like Rahm and Axelrod rather the man who actually WON for Dems, Dean.
'We don't need you'. THANK YOU for clearly demonstrating that if this is how the party feels, then you won't 'get us' this time.
I sure hope you are not a reprresentative of the party because this kind of attitude will surely lose for Democrats.
