The DLC/DNC candidate represents few, if any, of the left's positions. Corporate tax breaks? Kerry is in favor of it. Continuation of the Iraq war in the near(or possibly long term) future? Kerry is in favor of it. Continuation of free trade and outsourcing? Kerry is in favor of it. Keeping the Patriot act? Kerry is in favor of it. And the hits just keep on coming.

Face it, the only thing the DLC/DNC wants from the anti-war left is their votes and money, and our unwilling to address any of the left's issues. Instead, the left is laughingly dismissed with "who else you are going to vote for son, the Republicans? HAHAHAHA!" And when the left does decide to demonstrate the unhappiness, they are scapegoated for the Dems shortcomings.

This is the same type of mentality that the Democratic party has in regards to blacks and other minorities, and it is high time they were called on it. If not, then the party will continue it's ever rightward, pro corporate drift, and we will all be left out in the cold.
