Reply #27: We all need to work outside the democratic party... [View All]

[scentopine]

we need to focus on organization committed to change rather than a political party that happily takes our cash and labor and then labels and threatens us with messages about "those on the left". Fuck em.

Change cannot come from within, we need outside pressure for third party and threat of staying home from polls.

The thought of voting for and working with the new democratic party now induces waves of nausea.

It is write-in, 3rd party or nothing for me. I have pulled myself off every DLC/DNC mailing list and written letters to explain my withdrawal of support.

Frankly, they are quite comfortable without the left. They believe their victory was caused by right wing cross over vote and had nothing to do with grass roots organizing from left.

So the new democrats are taking a page from the Reagan neo-con handbook, stabbing the middle class in the back while lavishing our tax dollars on Wall Street.
