DU is becoming an example of what is wrong with our political system

Rather than identifying as Democrats who have a clear distinctive ideology opposing the increasingly far right Republicans we waste our time taking pot shots at our own candidates.
The failures of the Democratic party as a whole can be traced back to their inability to define the Republicans as the enemy to our American ideals.

A reason people continue to vote against their own interests is that the Democrats do not offer a united front against those who would take our freedoms from us and are making the world a far more dangerous place.

I look forward to a time when DU stops aping the MSM with the constant snips and quips against our own candidates.

Leave that to the Republicans, they are doing an excellent job of defaming each other.

We need to stand in opposition to the madness with both our candidates and get out and vote for whomever wins our primary election.

Blah Blah Blah. Heard this all before. Get a new tune.

In the case of DU, it started at the very bottom, attracting the very worst in self-loathing political junkies, college know-it-all hippies, and hate-ahlics and it has been digging to get lower ever since.

I do think DUmmie Land is what Hell is actually like.

13. We do not have a "clear distinctive ideology" but rather have two factions ...

... one being the "traditional FDR Democrats" and the other being the "Third Way Republican-lite".

Right now we are in a fight for our lives to preserve the traditional ideology from the conservatives who have infested our party.

If the Third Way wins, it will be the end of Social Security, Medicare and any other aspects of the social safety net that remain.

We can wait to pummel the Republicans; cleaning up our own party must come first.

What the underwater diving primitive means is he wants a gov't that controls every aspect of your life: From telling you what time to get up every morning, to what side of the bed of which to get out, to telling you how many steps you are to take to the bathroom, to telling you how to pee, to telling you how many steps to take to the shower, to telling you the size of your wash cloth and towel, etc...

I've read enough of his posts to know exactly what he desires in gov't. He wants a gov't that controls every aspect of someone's life. That's the difference between me and the underwater diving primitive; I can be more open and honest about what he really believes and wants than he can.

True, but in a much larger sense than your limited DUmmtard intellect can recognize.

If true, I expect to see skammer merge with a hispanic site, in the same vein as importing democrat voters.

Because you're all selfish self absorbed collectivists with no tolerances for the wishes of others except for when they overlap with your own wishes.

You can't identify republicans as the enemy to American ideals, because the ideals you refer to are in no way "American". The Ideals you refer to are the ideals of the socialist, the marxist, the lennist, the communist...or to put it simply, the collectivist.

You, like hillary, get confused. As in confusing your interests with people  who you don't ujnderstand, and couldn't give two shits about. 'Bitter clingers' ring a bell?

You are incapable of standing against madness, because your ideology is one big fat embrace of madness.

That line of shit got old before the first time some retard uttered it.
              

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.
