Reply #142: Yeah, and we get told the only way to win is to be a corporate dupe.

And things just continue to get worse as moderates continue to be almost completely (and deliberately) ineffective at passing and preserving good progressive social and economic legislation.

The WH, Senate, and House were completely controlled by centrists from Jan 2009 to Jan 2011.

And they didn't get jack shit done and, as a consequence, got buried in a landslide the 2010 election.

Now were fighting a losing battle for our lives and our rights as republicans steamroll us on the state level.

Moderate politics is epic fail.

The only saving grace is that republicans will screw it up so bad that people will elect Democrats again. But that's 1 step forward and 10 steps back.

And then, moderate Democratic voters will once again drink the MSM kool-aid from their tv's, and proceed to nominate more moderate Democrats, and the cycle of ineffectiveness will be repeated as the country continues to move farther to the right, and deeper and deeper into the ground.

And moderates will once again wonder why. Golly gee, what happened, Batman?

There is a word for people that keep doing the same thing over and over, and expect a different result.
