59. A DLC supporter's true colors.
The DLC can't stop us from having our party back. People talk about "purging" like it's some horrible thing, but the DLC is at odds with everything the Democratic Party has stood for for the past 60 years, has dubious origins, and has been extremely successful in taking the teeth out of what had been an effective populist opposition to the Republican Party.

These people don't need to be purged. They need to be ignored and left to rot on the sidelines of Democracy. Or better yet, allowed to go back to the other side of the aisle where they belong.

And I say that with all due respect to the many DLC-backed candidates who proved themselves again and again when it counted, most important among them Clinton and Gore.
