Reply #148: I can agree and disagree with your premise, I kind of see both sides and can understand

your anger and frustration as well as those that call themselves progressives, I believe Du to be infested with slime so that the true discourse needed someone gets a bit lost in the shuffle of people attempting to filter out the trolls from those with more honest intentions when voicing their concerns.

As far as being a registered Dem I am not nor will I ever be, I like to keep my options opened and therefore am a registered independent. but I come to this site because I have much more in common with what I perceive the ideology of the democratic party to represent though I have to be honest in that some Dem's I find such as Lieberman to be of questionable integrity regarding the wishes of his constitutes...

He is by far not the only one I question but all in all I obviously find more in common with the democratic party which brought me to DU in the first place.

I think we should question each one on their personal actions not as a whole, that is where some people on DU lose me, saying the Dem's are selling us out etc....I don't see the party doing that I see certain individuals doing that, and I believe they should be questioned and or taken apart and made to answer for their actions and or voting records.

Pelosi though one day she is a goddess and the next day a spawn of satan begs for scrutiny with some of her actions of late, I can't help feeling that, I have no desire to destroy this party what I have a desire to do is save it but I can't help agreeing you that dem bashing posts that pinpoint the whole party is self defeating and in no way helps in an effort to see that justice takes front and center stage.

I was disappointed with her statements regarding the protesters, it sounded dangerous and I am more than disappointed that impeachment is ignored, I like many others do not believe that beginning impeachment will in any way shape or form hurt this country, considering the very real danger this administration represents for the future of this country's democracy I consider it more dangerous to ignore them and in effect by not impeaching they continue to run amok and have yet to have to answer to anything or anyone....


But I understand your frustration at what is going on lately.
