(62,325 posts)that Democrats = Teabaggers, or that 'Social Issues' are minor to Democrats. YOUR WORDS.
Social issues, Civil Rights for Women, for AAs for all minorities, Gays, equal and civil rights. THOSE are Social Issues.
Not to mention, our Social Programs, like SS which is one of the Dem Party's most proud and successful Social Programs that has kept the Elderly, Orphaned Children, the Disabled out of poverty, and saved untold numbers of lives.
Medicare and Medicaid, another Social Program that keeps the poor and elderly from dying without care.
And Dems have to keep fighting off Republicans to keep those Social programs in place.
Social Programs and issues are one of THE most important platforms for the Dem Party.
There are no other issues I can think of that are MORE important.
It is BECAUSE of the Dem party's stand on these issues, that people ARE Democrats.
No wonder you don't like the Populist Dem Forum. But that's your right. As a Democrat no matter who doesn't like it, I and millions of other Democrats, see all the Liberal Organizations who fight for these Social issues, will continue to fend off the Republicans and protect these Social issues.
And that is what the Populist Forum is for. To support those Democrats who fight for these Social Issues and get them elected.
