(10,622 posts)There are good Democrats, but they wield little policy power, the blue dogs and centrists wield most of that, and that is simply a fact. I absolutely adore your wishful thinking and optimism (not sarcasm), but policy power is what matters, not technical numbers in non-leadership positions nor good intentions of a faction within the tent.
I believe more "non politician" progressive Democrats exist than Republican economic/social Liberal following ones do in our voting tent as well, but that has also not translated into policies that we try our damnedest to vote for.
Besides, most of this sub sub-thread of yours was a deflection of my post anyway which, as you may no longer recall, was a perspective of a Centrist Democrat given voice, and no matter how you try to change what it was by posting responses to other things besides what I actually posted, it remains honest and true.
OK?
I need to crash now, but it matters little as we will never agree that Centrists are not mirrored accurately by the voice I had given them, so productive discussion has reached it's end if it ever existed at all.
