(1,442 posts)principles are always consequential, regardless of election cycle
liberal/progressive ideology will always survive individual(s) and 'election cycles', this is validated throughout human history in terms of democracy context
use of 'fear extortion' to suspend one's principles for a vote to get a 'win' regardless of principle is never a valid premise, this is why the DEM slide continues right... I don't accept that premise and neither should you
There is such a strong narrative here on DU lately that concerns suspending one's principles to garner a vote because the other side has 'that guy'... but when folks ask and point out issue of their candidate and not the 'other guy' that conversation is shut down, it's actively suppressed and dismissed
Does 'core principles' allow for principled stances and discussion concerning the DEM party and current governance?
