We need a new Democratic Party, that much is clear [View all]

The current one sucks so terribly that we got our asses flambéed and handed back to us by a confederation obviously composed of lunatics, idiots, and rogues.

Lincoln fired his losing generals until he got some that got the job done. When will we rank-and-file Democrats do the same?
