I just can't find it...

I just can’t find it. It’s gotta be around here someplace, but darned if I know where. Maybe you’ve seen it.

You know, THE BOOK OF DEMS. Not the old one, the new one. The one with
all the rules and regulations and definitions. Apparently I fall short in all areas, so I need to consult THE BOOK in order to understand how to correct my thinking. Honest, I haven’t meant to violate the rules, I just didn’t realize that there are new parameters that MUST be respected or else.

If you are one of those who have a copy of THE BOOK close at hand, please be good enough
to share its contents with the rest of us. We really do want to be good!

1. Well-It's a "one-pager"

"1)Donate All You Can-2)Sit down & be quiet-3)Don't complain and question anything and/or anyone who says they're a Democrat-4)Your Opinion Does Not Matter-but hey! You're on the winning side
5)Repeat Step One".

At least that is what my personal experience has been these past 5 years.

2. Assuming all that is true...

just what is it that keeps you here?

5. I'm not sure why it matters

but I am still a Dem at heart-just not in membership.

The party has changed so much-toward the right-in the past 40 years, I cannot in good conscience endorse them anymore. By "them"-I mean the leadership.
The Dem party resembles the GOP from the '60's.
I didn't agree with the GOP then and I can no longer support todays "third way/new dem coalition".

Dems I know in local county politics-Dems on "main street" are still the same, but-should they try to question anything from the top-they likely, like I experienced, will not be heard. After trying, first with the local state party leaders-then national-DSCC/DNC/DCCC and finally understanding they don't care?
That was it. It took about 5 years for me to get the hint...it's not like I didn't try.
They need serious help with out reach, PR and addressing concerns like I and many others do share.

6. I'm sorry, I misunderstood

for some reason I read your post as a complaint of the website, not the Democratic party.

hiding head in shame now
