Since November 22, 1963...

77. It's even more distressing to see 'progressives' forget what their party is supposed to be about.

But not all that surprising, since it's been a long time since the Dem Party lost its way and lurched to the Right on so many very important issues.

Why would any Dem not WANT to be reminded of what the party used to be about, Civil Rights, Social Safety nets for all Americans, a future envisioned where the country didn't spend all its resources on WARS and where the Environment MATTERED?

People are NOT 'obsessing' over the PAST, they are focusing on what has not been ACCOMPLISHED all these years later.

Tell you what, when the Democratic/Progressive/Liberal checklist has even half the list checked off, then it will be time to move to the rest of the list.

But going backwards, where Corporations rule the parties, see what FDR had to say about that eg, we clearly have a whole lot of UNFINISHED work to do.

Btw, are you in the habit of 'moving forward' from personal projects that were interrupted for whatever reason, projects that seriously affect you future, just because you set those goals a few years ago?

I'm for sticking to goals until they are accomplished. I'm definitely against taking one step forward and two backwards, because that is a recipe for failure.
