Democratic Party Phoenix: Time to rebirth the party?

Clearly the DNC/3rd-Way has led the
Democratic Party into a ditch.

The "Victory Task Force" report issued by the DNC
highlights the party losses in the last few election cycles.
The DNC has a record of losing ground in every
level of governance. And make no mistake...
the DNC is HQ for the 3rd-Way.

“It is strongly believed that the Democratic Party
is loosely understood as a long list of policy statements.”

IOW, ALL TALK AND NO ACTION

Isn't it time that the "left", working class,
progressives, and populists take the party back
from the corporatists?

After being marginalized and ridiculed by the DNC
shouldn't the Democratic Wing take back the party?

After being blamed for election losses shouldn't the
Democratic Wing disavow the factors that are actually
leading to Democratic defeat?

Maybe it's time to say goodbye to the failed policies of the DNC?
Maybe it's time to lay the "neo-liberal", "new-democrats" to rest?
Maybe it's time to take the Democratic Party back?
We don't need a third party!

A symbolic funeral, followed by a real rebirth of the
Democratic Party and the values that made it great
is what is needed.

No more "long lists of policy statements"!
We need to revive our core values and give
the Democratic Party a NEW LIFE.

The Democratic Party needs bold candidates
and bold voters to make this happen.
No more milquetoast fear based votes.
No more lesser of two evils votes.
DEMAND MORE! DEMAND BETTER!

If the DNC won't work to make substantive changes
maybe we need to work to change the DNC?
