Reply #45: The DLC's influence is, imho, overblown

[Selatius]

It's an easy scapegoat. Sure, they take corporate contributions, and I'm not afraid to call them out on it, especially if they advocate "market based solutions" to certain problems, but I'm not going to blame the DLC anymore than the leadership of the party in general if its a case of incompetence or careerists who don't want to rock the boat when it's time to rock. Not everything that goes wrong is the DLC's fault, but I do believe that their relationship with corporate cash is a liability that should be contained, not to forget anyone else who is taking corporate cash and is tempted to sell out working class interests as a result.

And please, do not patronize me over the fact of DLCers being in the Democratic Party. I thought I made it perfectly clear on the point between a rightwing fundie and a DLCer.
