(1,629 posts)I said nothing about money... and pushing for a government based on democratic principles has NOTHING to do with "purity" since I can think of no Dems that even care about this issue.
Back in the 70's the far Right DID take on the windmills. They developed a long term, strategic, multifront offensive to turn America into Amerika.... AND IT'S WORKED... in large part because of cowardice on the part of Dems to develop a similar counter strategy of their own.
In politics if one's not on the offensive, they're losing ground. Dems are at a perpetual disadvantage because THEY HAVE NO VISION of where to take this nation in 20-50 years. All they care about is the next presidential election... and they delude themselves that demographics are on their side. Election 2016 should have demolished that idea. But usually Dems are clueless.
