(34,179 posts)Let me set you straight, I've probably done more in a decade of my life than you've done in a lifetime. I've played Democratic party politics, gone to the national convention as a delegate, watched as the party screwed the country and its own party members over time and again. Seen the beast up close and ugly. As the old saying goes, there are two things that a person shouldn't watch, politics and sausage making. It's a very true statement, because it disillusions you rather quickly.
These days, I don't do the party politics thing, because frankly, even at the district level party politics is an ugly, and ultimately futile business. Thus I put my efforts into issues I care about, that and local, very local politics. I find my efforts are better rewarded.
Any other dumb assumptions?
