Reply #4: D vs. R: That's the conflict that sucks us in the most. [View All]

But all the theater that surrounds it is a purposeful distraction from the real conflict at-hand. We will never bring the country together through bipartisanship or through one-party rule. The ideals that once belonged to the Democratic party are worth holding onto, but it's time to ditch the label and all its baggage that goes along with it. If I come at a wingnut as an "independent" the conversation is entirely different than if I had it as a Democrat, even though I'd be making the same basic points.

The sooner we shift the paradigm, the sooner we can come together to work on real solutions.
