Reply #96: And what I am seeing increasingly is that

[nadinbrzezinski]

voters who are part of that loyal base are questioning what is going on

These discussions are actually pointing the reason for it. As is... whether people like it or not, many democrats, some of them well known life time democrats (Mike Malloy) will support INDIVIDUAL democrats, but will not support the party overall (DLC is the reason and the lack of standing up)

Others, (William PItt) have recently admonished the party NOT to take the base for granted.

And the party is.

So we come back to the question, why is this going on? I will contend there are several reasons, and I started a thread on that today (and apparently pointing the herd of elephants in the room is akin to pushing for a third party... which pointing trends is not, and pointing to history is not either)... you may want to look for that article, for it is important but it did not receive the attention it needs here, I do hope though it does receive that attention at the DNC, who got a copy.
