Reply #16: Change can't occur without criticism of the status quo [View All]

[Lorien]

one can only surmise that a large number of Democrats are content. After all, silence implies consent, and they wish to silence those who are discontented with the state of the Democratic party. I view much of what others see as "bashing" as questioning and constructive criticism, which every healthy organization needs from time to time-especially when that organization has become unfocused and impotent. It's not just the media's fault, or diebold's-the party itself needs to shoulder some of the blame for the current state of this country and needs to develop a bold vision for a better future.That won't happen without criticism and debate.
