Rather than highlight the necessary changes and fresh thinking the Democratic Party needs...

DU keeps legitimizing Republicans by featuring their picture on the front page every single day.
Democratic Hipsters might think this shit is funny. It isn't. Every day Republicans are plastered on front page with their dumbshit antics, on the surface it seems funny. Haha.
Underneath it masks the horrible conditions in BOTH political parties that enable Trump.
As the hipsters party on, the nation is suffering with poverty, injustice, racism and disparity.
And here we have a website supposed to be devoted to democratic ideals putting assholes like Trump on the front page everyday. It just legitimizes him, desensitizes everyone to him, and enables him.
God help us. The Democratic Party seems to be more and more conservative/Republican thanks for the refusal to promote needed reform and change. As our intolerance to new ideas and fresh thinking grows, people like Trump and Cruz will be the beneficiaries because our only two political parties are pushing solutions farther and farther out of reach.
And here, on a website devoted to Democratic Party principals (as ever changing as they are) everyday we see only the picture of a Republican on the front page of the Democratic Underground.
We need to spend less time helping Republicans and more time fixing the Democratic Party to be a REAL agent for needed change and reform so that people can get on board.
As it is this funny picture bullshit is just showing how immature we are at recognizing and dealing with our own problems of right-wing policy infecting a political organization which claims to oppose Republicans.
How about promoting good liberals (from anywhere) and those who represent good values instead of shitty Republican celebrities?
Oh wait, I know. Liberals aren't welcome. We're NEW Democrats. A lot like the OLD Republicans. Which is the only reason I can think of for having a Republican plastered across the front page every day.
Its an infuriatingly wrongheaded strategy that is just enabling the Republican Party and alienating the young and disenfranchised voters being hurt by the conservative polices advocated by our political elite.
If you want to change America, you won't do it by promoting Republicans.
