Reply #13: Yes. And I hope "mush" wasn't a typo, cuz that's our platform. [View All]

The Democratic Party has been working so hard to appease the right and cater to big corporations, that they've lost touch with the people. So long as they have a demonic puke to oppose, they can take our votes for granted and give us nothing in return.

We want what people everywhere have always wanted: peace, jobs, security, free and fair elections, and representatives who will represent us instead of themselves.

Remember Patricia Schroeder? Pat got started in politics without any help from the Democratic Party. It almost looks like the party will jump in and support a politician only after they're elected, and then only in order to control them. If this country ever gets clean elections, both major parties will be out of business. Go to any classroom, nursing home, or community center in America, and everyone there will tell you who among them is honest and who is a crook. But the honest people rarely seem to be able to get their names on the ballots, and we usually end up voting for the lesser of two crooks.

Big surprise that most Americans don't like to see jobs being outsourced, a declining economy, and increased international hostility towards us. Even Diebold can't get a Congresscritter reelected if they vote for the chimp's Social Security plan.

There are a lot of positive proposals right here on DU. And I'll bet that Democratic Party operatives are reading them. But as long as they can take us for granted, they won't budge an inch. So they call for unity instead of seriously considering criticism. They figure that they've suppressed the third parties, and we're not going to vote for a puke, so we're stuck with them. But they do watch the polls. And if all they do is cheerlead instead of joining the team, the polls will continue to show it.

We all joined the Democratic Party, and nothing changed. Now we the people are demanding that the Democratic Party join us, and they will either respond or continue to become more and more irrelevant.
