Democratic Underground needs a name change.
Fuck the Democrats. They rolled over when we backed them. Isn't it odd that the Naderites were right about choosing an "electable" candidate? I still think there was election fraud, but if the Dems won't contest, what can the rest of us do?

New party, folks, or join the greens.

Green Party Underground
Progressive Underground
Liberal Underground
Underground Left

Dems would still be welcome, but I think it's time to change the game plan.

1. I completely agree.
However, I don't know if it is best to start new or join the Green.

5. if you want to leave, leave
The Democratic Party is a great party and we shouldn't be splitting along ideological lines. You don't win elections by fragmenting. We need to build a broad winning coalition.

6. Agreed!
Time for a major restructuring.

Smash the establishment that keeps hoodwinking us while they keep their cushy Washington insider jobs.

3 elections in a row now.
