Why DU is destined to fail

- While some of you are open to ideas most are narrow minded and refuse to see further than what is directly ahead.
-You have no ability to cooperate with Republicans, therefore your beliefs will never be seen as actions.
- Your intolerance makes you unable to see faults in your own party or to give credit to someone of the opposition who isn't Abe Lincoln.
- You've managed to make no real impact except attending rallies as one of many and writing meaningless letters to political leaders.
- You are known in political circles as a bunch of extreme-leftist nutcases, and even those leaders you support think you are irrational.

- How do I know all this?

I volunteered in Obama's Senatorial Administration for 2 years and saw the responses to some DU letters. There is not a single prominent political leader who would ever ask advice of the DU community.

15. Because it's fun to skitter back to their friends and try to post a link...

67. I'm sorry
 Did I offend you? 63 responses in less than 15 minutes. Must have hit right where it hurts. And never was fired, left for business school. Get over yourselves and start facing reality.

None of the responses were memorable.

77. Not everyone disagrees with you..........
 I don't think that the bourgeosie power structure pays ANY attention to left leaning people. Neither Democrats or Republicans at the elite level gives a rat's ass what the progressive side thinks.

Which is why I'm a revolutionary Marxist. In spite of what you and your little capitalist social circle think, there's still more of us than there are of you.

As an added bonus, it does contain an amusing fight between Bobo the Hobo and Sid Dithers.

I'm sure media exposure for the DUmp would make democrat politicians happy.
Luckily for them, the only "media" that has heard of the DUmp are other moonbat blog sites like kos, rawstory, and truthout.

 NEVER


Your disdain for poor people has been made very clear.

SidDithers says, "Du'ers are intelligent people capable of multi-tasking. Well, most DU'ers."

Yes, yes they are. They can all play with their private parts and pick their nose at the same time.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

Why DU is destined to fail

- While some of you are open to ideas most are narrow minded and refuse to see further than what is directly ahead.
-You have no ability to cooperate with Republicans, therefore your beliefs will never be seen as actions.
- Your intolerance makes you unable to see faults in your own party or to give credit to someone of the opposition who isn't Abe Lincoln.
- You've managed to make no real impact except attending rallies as one of many and writing meaningless letters to political leaders.
- You are known in political circles as a bunch of extreme-leftist nutcases, and even those leaders you support think you are irrational.

- How do I know all this?

I volunteered in Obama's Senatorial Administration for 2 years and saw the responses to some DU letters. There is not a single prominent political leader who would ever ask advice of the DU community, except Alan Grayson.

I fixed it for the soon to be TS'ed poster.  The OP speaks truth to power, and not one single DUmmie even tries to prove him wrong.

Thank you my friends, this group seems a lot more supportive and open minded than the DU- joined there mainly to express economic thoughts because I was unaware of the existence of this site- we need to try to garner more support here
