(46,179 posts)I need your "education" about what this site is about. I've been here long enough. While supporting Democrats during elections is certainly one of them, it's certainly not the only, nor the primary, purpose. You bring up a point that supports my assertion, though. This site, like the Democratic Party, has moved further and further toward the center/right, the neoliberal "3rd way" "New Democrats," who are, imo, responsible for the decline in value of the Democratic Party. Which IS my point. Unlike yourself, I've been here long enough to watch it happen.
I haven't been talking about, and you won't find me talking about, who one votes for, or not. That's your thing, and has nothing, again, to do with my point.
I find your assertions about who Obama is "far to the left of" to be laughable, but again, that's not my point. My point isn't about Obama, but about the Democratic Party. You are the one who keeps bringing up Obama. I'm talking about party, not personality.
My post has nothing whatsoever to do with 3rd parties. That's YOUR thing.
If you feel so strongly about all these things that have nothing to do with my point, why not start a thread about them and rant to your heart's content? Why keep throwing them at my posts, which, in this thread, are not related to yours? I feel like I've stepped through the looking glass.
My post, in a thread about the decline of the Republican Party, simply points out that the Democratic Party is also declining. Just in a different way.
That breaks no site rules and is not about Obama, LBJ, JFK, RFK, MLK, or 3rd parties. It's not about who anyone votes for in '16, '20, or anytime. It's about the decline of the Democratic Party, and the simple fact that the Republican Party is not the only party to have changed, and, imo, changed for the worse.
