Reply #21: i have to admit...

...that I have a difficult time determining whether you're sincere or writing satire. I'll have to assume you're being sarcastic and only trying to play for time.

The proof is in the pudding...so to speak. And that pudding is the current state of the Democratic party and their collaboration with a government that in any other time and place would be called fascist.

Your pitiful rationalizations sound like that of the GOPers when they're asked why there aren't more black leaders in their party. For proof...they point at the few token blacks in congress to distract from the fact that there are no blacks in the senate.

There are few liberals or progressives left in the Democratic party. The few that do exist are mere tokens...used once in a while by the Neodems to 'prove' that the party is still progressive. But like the Blacks in the GOP...the Liberals and Progressives in the Dem party have no voice in the direction or agenda.

It IS no secret that Liberals and Progressives have become the 'Blacks' of the party. They are to be seen and not heard. Their votes and checks are welcomed...but otherwise they're advised to shut up and fade into the background.

I will commend you on your ability to defend the indefensible and 'stay the course' despite having to work against reality.
