In reply to the discussion: Chains vs Change [View all]democrank
(11,094 posts)Although the enthusiasm is uplifting, I`m most grateful for the clarification of what the Democratic Party`s establishment and their supporters truly think about the Progressive movement. It is now crystal clear. The principles that have guided my vote for decades are far more important to me, my children and grandchildren, than a loyalty oath to any political party.
I have a renewed sense of purpose and freedom and will honor that as I continue to learn from the elders in my community, people who have so much more political wisdom than the dreadful hacks chewing up all time allotted for "discussion" on television. The elders I learn from are from a time when your word was your honor and you set an example by doing, not promising.
I suspect you know what I`m talking about, H20 Man, since many of your lessons came down from Chief Waterman....and I`m sure, others.
