(1,313 posts)I mean, God forbid Democrats may actually try to look critically at themselves. Better to be lemmings marching off a cliff? It that it?
Regardless, I see as the republicans further disintegrate after this Trump Dumpster fire and their insane ideologies and blatant greed and power lust --can't blame these on Trump! Democratic leaders will try to pull more republicans to them to prop themselves up. This will have the interesting effect of fracturing the Democratic Party into the "New" Republicans and the more liberal Democrats. It, or something like it, is inevitable as our creaky system only supports two main factions (i.e. parties) and nature abhors a vacuum.
DU can be part of the process of sorting that all out, or it can exist to help cement the existing power structure in place. A structure that is showing itself to be more and more out of step with what the country and its people want and need. That's plain to see, given the rise of "Independent" voters and people who simply do not vote. Lots of choices coming up for the Mods and owners of this site.
