DU is at a turning point. We will either be able to discuss POLICY or we will become Teenbeat Obama

We were able to discuss policies during the Bush administration. We were able to discuss policy during the primaries. We were able to discuss policy during the GE. We should be able to discuss POLICY during the Obama administration as hardcore Democrats.

In my opinion, this wonderful, wonderful site as always functioned best as a news aggregator, research forum, up-to-the-second-reportage of current events, scathing commentary on our opponents, debunking the right wing, and in so many other ways.

we have been at our WORST (in my opinion) when we debate the inconsequential, i.e. personal traits that have nothing to do with governance - I'd list them, but when I started I thought why bother, I think you know the kinds of things I'm referring to.

Obama himself has said "Make me." By that I think he means it's up to us to make him become the best president he can possibly be. Sometimes that might mean making so MUCH of a stink it gives him political cover to do the things WE DEMAND even though it might upset the status quo.
 
A people... who are possessed of the spirit of commerce, who see and who will pursue their advantages may achieve almost anything.

debunking the right wing

That'll be the day!  Hollaring something into an echo chamber does not a debunking make.

Again, the dummies mistakenly believe they have any influence whatsoever over what Obama does or doesn't do.  Just like him, they are legends in their own feeble minds.

Oh shiite! Us and Obama are all screwed......but mostly us.
“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

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
