Reply #5: Make a rational case for the moderative or conservative [View All]

[MadHound]

Sides of the party owning it? Really now, the Democratic party has always had to walk a fine line with its members, juggling beween lefts, cenrterists and conservatives. Sad thing is however, the left wing, which has generally been the largest in number and the most active in campaigns, has been cut out of the equation for years now.

Instead, the party has tilted increasingly towards center and right, corporate controlled Dems, ala Lieberman and both the Clintons. Meanwhile, despite loud and long calls, none of the left's agenda is ever brought up. Still and yet, we on the left are supposed to fall into line every couple of years in order to put the Dems into office, even though it won't bring us any benefit.

We on the left aren't arguing about who should own the party friend, all we're wanting to do is get our voice back, get a few rewards for being loyal to the party, and to stop being demonized by those within and without the party.
