1. Should have been done long ago.
It was perfectly clear all along where following the Turd Wave would
eventually lead our Party.

2. What's this "we" you speak of?
I think "we" are very left. Our so-called Democrats in Congress and in the white house are not left at all.

So do you mean THEY need a change of direction or WE need a change of direction?

Problem is, the only way to get us to turn left is to get the current crop of spineless, craven, weak, and self-interested Beltway Bubble Boobs who call themselves Democrats out of office.

But "Oh my, no!" cry the hankie to the forehead dabbing centrists and apologists. "Any Dem is a good Dem!!!"

Horse shit.

3. Read Matt Taibbi in Rolling Stone
on how Democrats are not a progresssive Party, they just play one on teevee.

4. I did and he's 100% right.....
Any progressive moves by about 75% (and I'm being generous) of the Dems at the federal level are strictly because of their own self interest and needing to maintain some small segment of that base, not because of any actual beliefs or values.

We all need to wise up ASAP and stop enabling this crap.
