(62,325 posts)KNOW where the problems were all along. We are organizing, we will NOT leave this Party to the Third Way, that's what they want, to drive the 'left' out of the party so that Wall St has control over both. That was the job of the Third Way, invented as they were, by Wall St.
It is THEY who must leave, not good progressives like you.
We start now to begin the process of removing them from our party in the primaries in 2014. No more support for fake dems, I agree, but the more of us there are IN the party the more success we will have in dealing with this problem that has plagued the party for quite a while now.
The party didn't leave you, it was infiltrated and it is our fault that we became too complacent for a while.
But the Left is pretty tough when you get them to this point. Dems cannot win without us, they know that. They also cannot push candidates we don't want, if we make it clear they will not get our support.
Your anger is understandable and it could be valuable. Eg, I am so angry that any president would do this, especially a Dem that it's hard to even talk about it. But it is also driving me to do several things, to educate every one I know about the value of SS and why it is worth fighting for. Too many people have been lied to about it, even here now on DU.
I hope you stay and help us rescue our party. There really isn't another one for us.
