Poll question: Should we resort to literal infantilism to change the Democratic Party?
CERTAIN PEOPLE, are advocating that we literally act like babies in order to change the Democratic Party, that we should scream until our face turns magenta, roll around on the ground and hit things, and wet our pants intentionally. I don't agree with this strategy, but CERTAIN PEOPLE think that it's a good idea.

Do you agree, that this is a bad idea?

1. how about voting for candidates of another party until....
the Dems get their act together?

That seems like a grownup thing to do. A "free market" response to the problem. What, you never heard of "creative destruction"? If democratic voters abandon the party, a new and better party will emerge from the ashes, one that is not a clone of the GOP, perhaps?

2. Or there may be more DEAD BABIES as was the result from the 2000 election.
P. S. The strategy you advocate is similar to one Stalin advised the German communists to follow and led to Hitler getting elected.

4. There's no long term for DEAD BABIES.
Is this the "creative destruction" you're talking about?
