Populist Reform of the Democratic Party
In reply to the discussion: How can anyone reform the democratic party [View all]NYC_SKP
(68,644 posts)9. We don't disagree. I doubt that any more than 10% of politicians are on our side.
Occasionally, a Democrat can be a real enemy and a Republican might be a friend.
Among that 10% who will fight, hardly any of them have much of a shot at beating well-funded competitors in any given contest.
In any event, my reply to the question has more to do with tenor, what constitutes productive OPs, and how to get where we want to go.
The posting member had an OP locked and I suspect that this question, and it's a good one, was prompted by that lock.
In no case is Obama or anyone else above criticism in this group, but a one-liner OP "ObamaSecret" is creepy, three hosts agree, and we'd prefer not to condone it.
I know you are a fighter, sabrina 1, and I'm always encouraged by your posts and replies and that you post in this group.
