I could be wrong, but I would need someone to link us to where any of these people has disavowed and admitted they were wrong about economics, personal freedoms, their cult of personality, and so on. Since I'm talking about all the shit that rethugs have been doing since the 1970s, they better get started.

Just saying a few things we like and agree with on MSNBC is not and never will be enough.

Like others have said, let them stay in their own party and work to fix it from inside.
