(2,770 posts)Myself included. And, according to the polls/surveys that have been done since his first inauguration, the Democrats he hasn't disappointed are legion.
Matt Damon? Yeah, well, you know what they say - as goes Matt Damon, so goes the nation.
"Well, some of us true liberals knew who he was. We knew he was a rising star, for the wrong team. The Third Way."
And who declared you a "true liberal"? What did the process of said declaration entail? Was it a true-false exam, or were there essay questions? Did spelling count? Were you graded on a curve? Did you get extra points for mentioning Matt Damon on your test paper?
"We are the liberal wing of the Democratic Party, and we demand that the next president must govern from the left-center, not far right."
Who is "we" in this context? People who actually vote, or people who spend their lives on a political message board pretending they are somehow representative of all liberals/progressives?
One last question: Does everyone who posts here get a Label-Maker (TM) which they can utilize to label people who don't agree with them - ya know, the 'usual' labels: Third Wayer, DLCer, ConservaDem, etc.?
I only ask because I didn't get one when I signed up. I would have opted for the model that prints labels saying Paulbot, RW troll, Perpetually Pissed-Off, Do-Nothing Keyboard Warrior, Know-Nothing Political Analyst Poseur, etc. - although that particular model seems to be unavailable on DU these days. Maybe that's why I never got one.
Well, I'm off - I've got to find out what Matt Damon has said since the last time I checked. Personally, I never form a political opinion before checking-in with Matt first. Doesn't everyone?
