In reply to the discussion: A Democrat fears his party is losing its soul. [View all]Proud Liberal Dem
(24,412 posts)And why does he seem to think that Democrats are the ones "too focused" drama and gamesmanship? Gah. Does he not know what Democrats stand for and/or what the Democrats have done whenever they've been in power? Does he even remember about the ACA that Democrats passed- at a horrific political price- back in 2010? Does he remember how President Obama helped stabilize a deteriorating economy and presided over a fairly peaceful and prosperous 8 years for everybody in our country? Was it as good as it could have been? Maybe not but he, like Clinton before him, left the place in a MUCH better place than where he found it. Is he factoring in Republican obstructionism? I hate Democratic naysayers whom seem to completely ignore all of the evidence in front of their faces that the Democratic Party is doing it's best to help people when they have the power to do so, but are too often undercut by the Republicans and their constant legal and legislative maneuvering. What the hell does he suggest Democrats do to get their message out? Hit voters over the head by a 2 X 4 to get them to pay attention to them?
