General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: At what point is a self-proclaimed "Democrat" not a Democrat? [View all]Jeff Rosenzweig
(121 posts)Yet somehow I can't help but think there are more propitious times for existential Democratic musings than four months out from an election, when primary season is (mostly) over and midterm campaigns ramp up for a Labor Day shift into high gear.
Yeah, the big tent is full of jerks and cads. Stop the presses. It's been imperfect, sometimes wildly so, my whole life, and I'm way, way into my fifties. It's been way worse, for whatever that's worth, but that's not much consolation for me and I don't expect it will be for you either.
Want to change the party? I hope you do. Me too.
Think this "discussion" is going to change it or anything else at this late date in an election cycle? What, precisely? It's just going to sow division here, as if any more were needed. If that's what you want, please proceed.
