No more playing nice. No more trying to Republican Lites. We are on the side of progress, of modernity, of compassion, of reality. We need to be REAL progressives. If we continue to allow them to frame the issues, if we allow them to make us think we need to be more like them, then I fear, it will truly be the end of the Democratic party.

If any of the party leadership thinks that we need to be more like Republicans, then those leaders are out of touch. We do not want to "play along to get along". We are sick of it. They have declared war on too many of the things we hold dear and they are systematically oppressing too many Americans. I will not stand for it and I am not alone. If you do not understand how seriously many of us take this, then you need to get out and talk to us. We are ready to fight and we need leaders to help us. If we do not find them, we will become them.
