Reply #178: He's pointing toward looking at progressive vs. conservative more these days [View All]

and less toward "Democrat" vs. "Republican". Since so many conservatives have become "Democrats", the term is almost meaningless. The Republicans purged the moderates and liberals from their party over the last 2-1/2 decades. Those Republicans went to the Democratic Party, which post-DLC has taken on much more of a conservative stance and platform (compare the 2008 platform with the 2004 platform).

So I'm sorry that you think that Sirota is alienating conservative Democrats. He regularly derides the red-blue summer camp color war that politics have become. Instead, he is just as hard on "Democrats" like our Governor Howdy Doody, and our Senators Jellyfish and Thurston Bennet the Third as he is on the Republicans. At least we expect no better from the GOBP. The constant betrayals and capitulations of the "Third-Way" "Democrats" is really demoralizing.
