That is what is happening. The Tea Party also didn't throw out all the veterans, they made them move farther to the right. This strategy is literally what they did. Challenge incumbents, and then force those still in Congress to bend. Mitch McConnell isn't exactly a guy that rode in on the tea party wave, but he was smart enough to harness it. You seem to think it's impossible for the left to do the same thing. I don't.
Herding the left is like herding cats.

Won't happen.

I have no faith in this person or others like hom, Clinton and Pelosi.

You posted a great article about voter apathy. We know how Dems perform in mid term elections.

And the answer is to keep the status quo in power?

I don't get it man. It's dangerous wishful thinking.

I thought some of you guys woke up after last week but it was just an emotional response to the election.

The Tea Party didn't have a central figure, they had people that were pissed off. They voted out politicians they felt did not represent then in primaries and scared the others into adopting their agenda. They even scared Democrats into compromising while Dems had a majority.

That's what we need on the left now.

It's been 36 years of this shyt already.

I'm thinking about the long game. We need to plant seeds now.
That requires an engaged, informed, and organized/militant base at the grassroots for the left to pull it off.

It's easy for the right to do because all it takes is a billionaire backer preying on people's ignorance and prejudice. :francis:
I can agree with this. I think Chuck is not the answer at the time. But who else do we have? Merkley?

his soul is still burning

he's going to have to accept that real progressives are going to take over the DNC, and the centrist losers are getting tossed to the side
Finally getting line with most countries. (An actual center-left vs center-right dichotomy):ahh:

That will not happen....not without another Obama

And the Dems do not have that.


I dont see this party changing much brehs.z
The elitist liberal types will weather this little storm and after the dust clears they will be back out there throwing fundraisers and cocktail parties from coast to coast.
