Reply #55: What if Dems compromise and throw away their principles... [View All]

[Q]

...in order to 'win' and then lose anyway? We witnessed that recently in the 90s and again in 2002.

- But there are some issues that the party just can't sell out or compromise on and not suffer the consequences. Unjust war, torture and war crimes are NOT issues a political party can 'compromise' about and come out of it unscathed.

- For better or worse...Democrats have joined with Republicans in putting all these important issues on the 'back burner' until after the election. One can't miss the irony here...when a 'democratic' nation agrees to put discussion and prosecution of serious crimes on hold while they elect one of the complicit parties to lead.
