Reply #79: It's not about me and "winning."

It's about the constant anti-centrist drone of this place. I suggest you look at the number of threads here daily that say the same thing. I'm sure you know the type: "Why is the DLC/the centrists/the corporatists so stupid? Aren't they tired of losing?"


Leftists? I got no problem with them. Some of the best people here are Kucinich supporters, who support him for principled reasons, and have a pragmatic understanding of his electoral prospects. Everyone has a right to their opinion and ideology. What I have a problem with isn't ideology per se, it's the ignorance and dishonesty that inform so much of the centrist bashing here.

Personally, pointing out for the umpteenth time why the Democrats lost in 1994, or that they won in 1996 and 2000, and lost narrowly in 2002 and this year because no one trusts some of the crazies who infest this place with national security, isn't my idea of fun. Seeing the 1000th "Joe Lieberman is a Republican" thread doesn't send chills down my spine; neither does seeing thread # 582 on how the DLC is destroying the world. Yet it goes on and on. I suggest you take a good look at some of these threads and see who is attacking whom.
