So much for Democracy. And Democrats.

I have seen Rahm's victory spun two ways today.
One take is that we need to accept and support the big-money corporate Dems because this is how to win.
Another take is that the amount of money Rahm needed to spend in order to win means that the big-money corporate Dems should be on notice that they are on their way out.

For me, the second take is hopeful, but I keep reading that Hillary is the choice because she has raised so much corporate money. So - dissonance.

The first take makes me feel like I just should not pay attention to anything any politician does any more; just vote for the "D", and STFU. Nothing to see here, move along.

Neither take makes me feel good about being a Democrat. Warren and Sanders make me feel hopeful, but it seems that the "Centrist" Dems may give some of their ideas lip service, but dismiss them out of hand when it comes to actual policy. Like they are not what the Democratic Party has become. Policy has become unimportant.

If she was willing to tilt at the Andy Cuomo windmill, why not put her up against Chuckie, too?

A good friend of mine, was thrown out of, and beaten up by a pro wrestler, for daring to show up at Hillaryfest (aka, the FDP Convention) with a John Edwards sign. And he was also a progressive Florida Democratic congressional candidate.

No dissent allowed. It's why the Florida Democratic Party is a big bunch of losers.

I called his office, so should you. Patrick Murphy will not win this seat.

And, with his record, I don't want him in it either!

I APPLAUD THOSE DEMOCRATS WHO ARE HOLDING THEIR GROUND, TO HAVE A SPIRITED PRIMARY AND CALL OUT ANY FAKE DEMOCRAT WAITING IN THE WINGS.

Thank you!

Or is standing up for progressive principles okay if you end up losing?

if you're not a progressive?

BTW, Murphy is a former Republican, and there's no reason to believe he would have any better chance of beating a Republican than Grayson.

first because it's not your website to judge.

second, because it's not exclusively a progressive website. Hence the name DEMOCRATIC Underground. (I believe PROGRESSIVE UNDERGROUND is available if you want to buy it).

FWIW, I've met and supported both of them. Strictly on an evaluation of ability to win, I'm going with Murphy.

Grayson was elected in a Republican-leaning district in 2008 (against a scandal-plagued incumbent during a Democratic wave election) in a GOP leaning district but lost in a landslide two years later. He was then elected 2012 in a heavily Democratic district.

I was skeptical of Murphy when he first ran, but he has proven me wrong. He voted with the Democratic Caucus the vast majority of the time.
