State Progressive Democratic Caucuses
Edited on Tue Nov-09-04 11:48 PM by BayCityProgressive
OK so we all want a more progressive Party right? We almost all adore the liberal Progressive Caucus in the US congress. Well now they are starting to form Progressive Caucuses in state Democratic Parties. I would love to look into starting one in Michigan if anyone else here wa sinterested. We should all be getting these rolling in our home states of we want our agenda heard!

1. I agree.
In fact, it's my only choice. Many DUers seem focused on how we win next time, and I understand the necessity of it, but that's not my thing.

I want to fight for fundamental rights and stand by progressive principles. This seems like a way to do it. And Progressive Caucuses could always unite with others to back a candidate - but it would be like other supportive org (abandonment of principles would not happen).

Hope I expressed that correctly.

But if I abandon my principles to win, it is not worth it.

2. exactly my thought
pragmatism and negotiation is one thing. Running DINO's is quite another.
