Reply #63: the 'far left' feel they are 'owed' something [View All]

That's the difference between the DLCers and the 'far left'.. The DLCers want to control the Democratic party and set the agenda.

Funny - that is exactly what the far left wants to do. They are completely unbending, uncompromising, and so sure they are "correct" that it borders on arrogance. Their threats of supporting third parties unless they get their way is tiresome. Unfortunately for them, they can't organize and generate enough support to make any real difference.

IF that weren't the case, Kucinich would have won in a walk, Nader would have rode the Green express in 2000 to victory...

Win some elections and show you have some political clout before making demands of the party.

Or would the far left rather just bitch and moan because taking action might lead to some sort of victory and the very thing that they thrive on - the fight - would be over and there would be no more motivation.

they refuse to compromise with others in their party.

Tell us what the 1% could possibly bring to the table? And why you feel you are owed something that you haven't earned?

It's telling that you constantly use the term far left to describe the very base of the party: women, blacks, poor, workers, 'gays' and the disenfranchised.

What possible evidence do you have that women, blacks, poor, workers, 'gays' and the disenfranchised share your political beliefs?
