(69,070 posts)Those who consider themselves the 'base' are not the base if they criticize Democrats. The true base can always be counted on to vote Democratic. it is time to support the party up and stop the pointless criticisms. Also, we do not need a massive fight before the coming mid-terms. Did we learn nothing from 2016? A new DNC chair was just elected so there is a change in leadership. We have the most progressive platform in our history which won't matter if we can't win elections...now is the time to fight Trump and not the Democratic Party...which by the way there is never a good time for. Work at the grass roots level for the changes you desire...be the change you envision. In the meantime, some need to consider that attacking the Democratic Party enables the GOP, and every time we do it, we lose.
