Reply #129: Declarations the democracy is dead is as

[Perky]

Chicken little as they come. It is devoid of historical perspective and lacks rational underpinnings.

That sentiment and the activist mantra that we must replace every democratic who does not see thing a uber-progressives. do it cheap, intellectually lazy and political Pablum for the infantile.

You don't have to agree with members of Congress, but one vote does not means the death od Democracy. SOme of us work tirelessly to get solid dependable Democrats in office; to gain a majority in both houses and keep it..

We hold every progressive congressional distinct in the Country. We hold many of the moderate districts....All that is left to grab is more moderate districts. To keep and hold those seats we won this past election and to do the same again this coming tilt, we are going to have to compromise in the short term in order to grow to a sustain majority in the house and gain the five or 6 seats in the Senate to undo everything the idiot on the other end of Pennsylvania ave has done.


People who do not get that and claim that they are "party" activists but can't see beyond the end of their noses do the party a disservice by saying that Democracy is over.
