the DLC will NEVER yield to your demands. Why? Because of the purpose for which they were formed in the first place is to exclude us.

Please read these two articles in their entirety (some excerpts are posted downthread by others):

You can appeal for unity all you want, but if one party you're appealing to is constitutionally opposed to it by definition and mission statement (figuratively speaking -- I have no idea what their mission statement is if they even have one), you're not going to get very far. So STOP THE FUCK BLAMING US, or lecturing us what WE "must" do. It's damned annoying. Some people here have a much better understanding of what the hell is going on than you do. Please be smart enough (forget humble -- won't ask for that) to listen to them.

Too, don't take the wars here as anything important; they're not. The DLC has some members at $50 a head, but they don't care about having a membership, they only care about big corporate donors and keeping them happy. So the "people" you're asking us to be unified with are a few pro-DLC people here at DU and the leadership of the DLC. I mean, what you're asking for isn't all that logical, frankly, or even logistically possible, if you've understood what I'm saying.
