So the New Democrat infiltrators are so concerned that "liberal progressives can't win in such-and-such part of the nation"?
Good -- let's alleviate their concern and worrying: Toss them out of the Democratic Party. That way, they won't have anything to worry about. Their kvetching and moaning and agony will be solved.
The rank-and-file can bring the Democratic Party back to its FDR/Truman/JFK roots.

(10,337 posts)If our current Dem reps actually cared about what we think, we would have
Background checks
Single payer health care
Spending on infrastructure
A $15.00 minimum wage
A ban on dark money
Meaningful voting rights
Buy made in the USA first
The list is long
What we get from them is we can't even get a response to the republikkklan debate points.
The current "leadership" does not give a shit what we want.
They know who butters their bread and it ain't us. We the people will not be giving them six figure jobs when they retire. But we know who will.

Of course, on Bernie Underground, such BS is never hidden.
Read the fucking rules of the DNC. You CANNOT replace Wasserman-Schultz until after the 2016 elections. Those are the rules.
Of course, DINOs running as Democrats because they would have no chance whatsoever if they ran as Democratic-Socialists don't really pay attention to rules.

(18,290 posts)There are too many actual Democrats who would be victimized by a mass exit. And a mass exit would guarantee GOP rule for 100 years.

(819 posts)Truly, I can see why people register Independent after seeing corporate influence on both parties.
I remain Democratic as I am in a closed primary state, but very disheartened.

"When it comes to weighing personal medical decisions, I trust women. I trust women to make their own decisions about what is best for their bodies and their families. To that end, I will continue to be a staunch advocate for a womans right to access all legal, safe resources for planning her family.. DWS
The Supreme Court has upheld legal assertions that decisions regarding a womans body should be kept between her and her doctor. I will always defend this right, including access to abortion services, for women here at home and around the world as a principle tenet of womens comprehensive health."

(28,079 posts)A lot of people are fed up with DWS for a lot of reasons. Her refusal to hold more debates was just the icing on the cake.
Fumesucker
(45,851 posts)Turns out DWS doesn't actually trust women when it comes to weighing personal medical decisions, some decisions she wishes to remove from their available options.
Yeah, I think removing the authoritarian prohibitionists from the party would improve it immeasurably.

(30,481 posts)100% from the HRC. This is revealing. I had always laughed at most of the purity posts. Now I see there is a lot of truth to them. 100% rating from the HRC and you way her thrown out. I find that to be laughable.

(3,811 posts)Most of those would be from the liberal strongholds; Boston, Seattle, Portland, Milwaukee, parts of New England, etc.
There would be none from the South -- or maybe Steve Cohen, and one or two others (Does Steve Cohen get in?)
I think 20 or 30 seats would be about right.
