The state motto of Kentucky is: "United We Stand - Divided We Fall"
I think it may apply to the present Democratic Party.
If the Democratic Party divided itself between the Bernie supporters and the other Democrats, it would generate a lot of debate and interest. However, in my opinion, neither of them alone could defeat this Republican machine that has been created over many years?
We must unite as one Party to be at our strongest, in my opinion.
But, and this is just my opinion, the DLC has run its course. They will still be a part of our Party but they will no longer lead the Party. The progressive wing of the Party is the only one that can appeal to the workers and the middle-class of this country. They have not been captured by the special interests of Wall Street or the Big Banks. At least, that is the perception.
That is why I cannot support Howard Dean for Chair of the DNC. I love Howard but I'm not sure he can appeal to the people that we need to return to the Party? We must return to being a Party of the average working man, over all others.
