In reply to the discussion: This third-way centrist ultimately loves counterproductive left wingnuts [View all]Dustlawyer
(10,510 posts)12. I agree as well. I see DU members who I disagree with and I try to engage in a fruitful discussion.
I have had my mind changed here about many things, and I have hopefully opened a few minds to what I believe as well.
From my standpoint, I believe that a very high percentage of politicians, R's & D's, are bought off and no longer Represent their Constituants. I believe we need Publicly Funded Elections and other campaign finance reform measures in order to regain our Representative government.
Many here still believe the DNC is alive and well and Democrats are what they claim to be. Not me!

"...right leaning Democrats..." is an oxymoron. Except for the label, there is no such thing.

Spreading the idea Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman makes me think we're not on the same team.

For some reason you think there's nothing NAZI about the direction the country is taking.
