17. You're welcome.
But no, I'm not saying "conservative Democrats take responsibility when their admonitions fail". I'm saying that strong leftist Democrats don't follow DLC admonitions, and by doing so have handed Republicans victory in many places of the country where they could have won.

Green leaning Dems don't follow DLC advice because they despise the organization - I think this is as obvious as saying the sky is blue. But just because you despise people doesn't mean they're wrong. It isn't appeasement to treat your opponents civilly, while making cogent, persuasive arguments. But if you insist on trying to persuade independent voters by printing a bunch of photoshops of Bush in a Tutu, then get used to losing.

I don't expect any luck in persuading you. I can see you're someone who prefers your happy filter to harsh reality. But I thought at least you deserved an honest answer, since you asked for one.
