Reply #374: The DLC has been far too dominant...andf tried to kill liberalism [View All]

[Armstead]

I have no problems with a Big Tent Democratic Party that includes a wide spectrum of opinions and degrees of liberalism.

To me a moderate liberal and a more left progressive are pulling in the same direction. They may differ in degree, but they agree on the goals.

BUT that is not what the DLC tried to do. They have done theor best to impose a phony form of "centrism" that either glosses over or moves in the opposite direction, regarding core issues.

They have tried consistently for years to get rid of those terrible "leftists" and purge all vestiges of strong liberalism out of the Democratic Party.

If DLCers really believed in a Big tent, they would not have consistently pushed the Democratic party into the Corporate Embrace, and muddied its position on the real issues of Money and Power, and War.
