Reply #14: The DLC has been a disaster for the Democratic Party. [View All]

They have moved us from our core beliefs towards the blatant corporatism of the Repugs. They undercut us nationally since they continually disagree on direction. That means we'll never have a cohesive, unified message to deliver to the voters. Which in turn is why voters always say the Democrats aren't offering a concrete plan for anything.

They also help the Repugs bolster the claim of "bipartisanship" on their egregious anti-worker agenda. They can always get some DLC'ers to agree with whatever evil they are up to.

I would rather purge the DLC and get back to a Democratic Party that supported American workers, individuals, and basic rights. We might take some losses short term, but longer term we'd be back stronger than ever. Eventually a big majority is going to see the folly of corporate control.
