Part of the reason for the recent successes of the dem party is that it IS a big tent party |
|
And conversely, the failure of the repuke party is largely because it's not. The insane pukers consider anyone to the right of Mike Pence a liberal RINO. And look what happened to them. I may not like that there are a lot of blue dog dems, but I realize that without them, we wouldn't have a majority in Congress.
This country is both a center-right nation and a center-left nation. It all depends on the issue. Not to mention that a shitload of people are just straight out persuadable.
Insisting that we should be only a party of purists, means you've learned jackshit about why the repuke party is in such dire straits.

1. So, I guess Joe Lieberman is OK, after all? |

Nader was right? There isn't that much difference between "center-right" and "center-left", eh?
