380. Purges

Thu Nov 27, 2014, 10:37 PM

Nov 2014

You talk a lot about purges, without really considering what or who is being purged. Is a purge necessarily bad if those that are being purged are pro-war corporatists? Is it automatically a bad thing to expel, say, fascists from your ranks simply because expelling them may be described as purging them? I get that "purge" is a buzzword among the establishment crowd, but I'm not buying the argument that being a "big tent party" at any cost is always, unquestionably and without caveat a good thing.

Hell, it may even be helpful to judge ourselves on who doesn't consider themselves welcome in our party. If the bankers, weapons manufacturers, torturers, war makers, etc. begin to feel that they have a foe in the Democratic Party, it may signal to us that we're finally doing something right.

You sure seem to have a lot of stored hatred for liberals, baldguy Scootaloo Nov 2014 #89

And for democracy as well. Rex Nov 2014 #92

Not at all. Just phonys who claim to be liberals. baldguy Nov 2014 #97

So... Anyone who doesn't share your candidate is a "phony liberal"? Scootaloo Nov 2014 #99

A "phony liberal" is anyone who works to defeat the Dem nom even before they're nominated baldguy Nov 2014 #106

There's no dem nom until after the primary aspirant Nov 2014 #120

That's Stupid billhicks76 Nov 2014 #138

It's the other way around. Raul Hernandez Nov 2014 #373

Someone hasn't been paying attention. baldguy Nov 2014 #374

Thats because we do not consider Secretary Clinton a viable candidate Raul Hernandez Nov 2014 #375

Well, let's just have a few primaries & see. baldguy Nov 2014 #376

Fine, let's have a primary - I guarantee you this: Ms. Clinton will lose every caucus and primaries Raul Hernandez Nov 2014 #377

If you believe that, then you've swallowed the RW Rovian lies hook, line & sinker. baldguy Nov 2014 #378

So... yes, whoever doesn't fancy the candidate you favor is a "phony liberal" Scootaloo Nov 2014 #366

What I favor is a Democratic victory. If Sanders joins the Party & wins the nom, I'll vote for him. baldguy Nov 2014 #368

I think it's always a good idea -- when casting generalized aspersions, and proclaiming Voice for Peace Nov 2014 #98

Hillary started running the day she resigned as Sec of State, and Warren isn't running at all. baldguy Nov 2014 #102

The odds are purportedly very good that almost any Dem can win in 2016 Voice for Peace Nov 2014 #110
