Either these three have forgotten or they are "truth impaired" in some way. 
Will be interesting to see what DWS says about this if anyone bothers to ask her. 
"I hear nothing, I see nothing!!" 
you've done enough damage to the party, it's time
for you to GO !
L-Y-L-Y-I-N-G!!!
(misspelled for rhyming purposes 
)
And, it's frightening to think of that if she didn't consult with others. 
She has MUCHO POWER and therefore gets a pass.
I mean, both parties do it.

I haven't been motivated to do OPs in a while. Not that I ever did many. I feel an obligation to parent a thread I start and it's too much of a commitment sometimes.
I am 100% sure the Party knows the stats and it's made it's choice as to what to do about it. So, the status quo must be God's will.
That being the case, I don't know what is to be accomplished by throwing red meat (read meat?) out on this board. It would impact nothing in real life and I'm not feeling especially masochistic today.
You may or may not recall: After the last mid-terms, Mike Capuano (one of the best pols ever) and Stephen Lynch, both Mass Reps, suggested that, given the results of the last two midterm, considering a change in strategy might be wise. That was literally all they said--just that vague, that mild and that sensible.
The story got posted here and Capuano and Lynch got torn to shred by the usual suspects. Not their position, mind you, which was hard to attack, but them as politicians and the fact that they dared say anything at all.
That is what DU has devolved to anymore.
quickly be seen as raw, fresh game as you say. Extend a hand well meant and then draw back a stub is not my forte either. (Sorry to know that two reputable Mass. politicians got tossed like that over reality, whoa).

I didn't realize so much about Tim Kaine, my my. How I wish I'd learned of DU earlier, like 2005-6 at least.
BTW, just referred a Duer wanting SBS media contacts so I suggested you. Hope ok, dunno if they followed up.
Looking forward to this Saturday's Debate, though I really liked the SC Forum. Rachel's prep, questions and style, and the more relaxed, attractive and 'theatre in the round' setting made for a good experience.
The Debates' traditional stage, podium and more formal Q & A style are entirely different. We'll see. Keep the faith!
How the hell can we get our act together and become unified when we have a party Chair who doesn't tell us the truth? It's no small wonder some view us as "infighting" and disorganized. And perhaps it's no small wonder if, in fact, we are! Isn't there a way to unseat DWS? If so, perhaps Gov. Dean can be persuaded to take her place, or give us a clue as to who would better represent our party. Keep it together, guys. There has to be a way.
Growl, groan.................
We would be doing that if we had a party that cared about the electorate and that wanted to actually do something to help inform the public. We need all the information we can get to decide who will lead this country and virtually the rest of the free world after the present administration leaves office. We need someone who is going to be thinking about the people of this nation, the down trodden, the middle class, those who have been marginalized, and especially those that have been able to usurp the wealth of this nation and much of the world through their lying, cheating, and stealing making this nation and the world more and more unequal in every aspect.. We need someone who will step up the game for the 99% and put a stop to the horrible situation the 1% has caused for this nation and the rest of the world. Between you an me, I believe with the candidates running in both primary elections, that person is Bernie Sanders. With this horrible lack of debates that Wasserman Schultz has orchestrated, I'm afraid the people who need the information in order to decide between the candidates just may not have the opportunity to see the candidates enough to be able to make a wise decision.
