Which One Are You?: DNC, DLC, DFA? And Something Else,

[Dinger]

Do you think this is good for our party? I'm not so sure. It's nice to have a big umbrella, but I wouldn't want to have a "lockstep" situation either. Does the republic party have a RLC, RFA? I would just like your thoughts on this, because many of you here are a lot smarter than I.

1. I'm not sure what you're asking

Someone can be all three.

[Dinger]

2. All Three? I'll Quickly Edit To Add That. Thanks (nt)

[EFerrari]

3. None of the above but I sometimes work with DFA and PDA

and contribute to the DNC now that Dean is Chair. :)

4. I Just Added Two More Choices

Hope that helps. No more editing. I think it's bad form to edit polls.

13. Thanks, Dinger!

7. Are you ME?

:)

[EFerrari]

11. Lemme go look!

:hi:

[Adelante]

5. The DNC is within the party structure

Every Democrat is DNC. The other two you mention are ex-party organizations, political PACs.

6. The only one I'd write off immediately would be the DLC.

Bunch of corporate toadies.

8. two out of three?

Yes, the GOP has a RLC.

9. Now I Know. Thanks : ) (nt)

10. Well, let's see

I was a founding member of DFA.
I donate to the DNC.
Some folks on DU probably consider me a "DLC toady".

12. Something Else. That's me!

Independent progressive populist.

I'm not a fan of "the big tent". The working class needs it's own party. We shouldn't have a second thought about excluding the investor class. Their interests run counter to ours.

[EFerrari]

14. You are, after all, a greendog.

:)

[PassingFair]

15. Pssssst.

Take another look at the DFA option.....

Looks like "independent progressive populist city" to me!

[ellisonz]

19. Actually...

Based on my expierence that would be the PDA, not the DFA, which has retained Dean's moderation, despite those who sought to use it as a vehicle for their own cause.

16. I'm a MOP

and MMOD.

17. I'm progressive. But, there has to be some DLC here...

[jackbourassa]

18. Well I know of at least two...

20. I'm a loud, proud, and old-fashioned Left-Wing Anti-War Liberal

with a distinctly anti-corporatist, pro-equality progressively humanistic bent. I'd rather my tax $$$ would feed or educate a child rather than buy a bomb or end up oppressing anyone; to rebuild NOLA, rather than enrich Halliburton; to give people a hand up, rather than a smack down. And, I am at the point where I am ready to put my full conscience behind my vote.

"Does the republic party have a RLC, RFA?" Yes, and no. Their RLC is our DLC, as far as I'm concerned. They couldn't have an RFA if they tried.

Thanks for asking.

[slampoet]

21. I'm not much of a joiner. But I guess I'd be a BEW

Brotherhood Of Electrical Workers.


I'm a labor Demo.

22. I'm just a voter.

I'm a registered democrat, but beyond that, I belong to no group, nor do I work for any particular candidate.
I have issues that are important to me, and I view the list of candidates through that filter. I discuss them, I weigh them, and yes I even criticize them based on my own issue critiera.

I DO however, reject the notion that any one group within the party is the best spokesmodel for the party. I DO reject the notion that elitism vs. grass roots is the way to run the democratic party. I DO reject unblinking fanaticism absent issue discussion for any candidate.

I yam what I yam.
