5. :) A bunch of RW extremist nutcases? No. Dems have nothing

in the slightest like that. We're the same people dominated by the same mainstream liberal ideals we've had all along. Stable, rational, progressive, liberal.

There are LW extremist nutcases, of course, but they're few and weak compared to our mainstream and to the extremist monster that's risen on the right. And most refuse even to pretend to be evil Democrats.

8. I'm Not Advocating An Off-The-Wall Dem Group Opposite CPAC And As Crazy.....

My thoughts were a Dem group that could meet. Get the media attention that CPAC has. Sane Dems speaking and offering up fact checks and the truth to counteract and refute the lies being told at CPAC.

Basically a Dem group that can set the record straight and get Dems from all parts of the country talking to each other and on the same page.

9. We're already there, Global! Remember the primary and how

all but some fringe candidates were strongly on the same page? Where most Democratic voters wanted them to be? Don't believe dishonest media who can't sell stories without conflict. Even Sanders strikingly got "on the same page" given the imminent threat of the RW authoritarian revolution he inadvertently helped create.

That may still be going, but it has never gotten the attention as CPAC, except for maybe a couple years in the early Obama admin.
