Think about it. What Michael Harrington proposed in the 70’s and 80’s is that we (liberal, lefty and progressive) change the Democratic party for the better. What attracted me to Daily Kos was that same objective. What has happened in the intervening years is that the Democratic party has moved to the center right; the 3rd Way is now firmly in control and in charge of the apparatus.

Is it wrong for the Sanders campaign to try to bring the Democratic party back to the direction that earned the love of great and growing middle class? Hell no! Most of us who have hung in here at the Daily Kos see the need for the party to move back to the populist left.

Far too many posts and even the creator of this site have attacked Sanders campaign to do just that. I don’t and can’t rely on this site anymore to uphold the “crashing of the gate”. The subtle, slick or schemey posts that have overtaken Daily Kos have undermined a valiant and exciting campaign by embracing the center. Sad, so very sad! Bye-bye, Daily Kos.

Politics is the art of compromise. When assholes dont compromise, I think it is best that we take what Prez O has gotten for the nation. We will see incremental change in exchange for almost of 100 years of blather on what should be a health program. We know the demopublicans are in the pockets of Corporate interest. However, taking this big bite out of health care reform truly is AMAZING, yet by increasing a progressive plurality/presence we can do MORE!

This whole little blue enclave in the midst of theocratic rule is a gem. Park City is an open, liberal and totally unbigotted place to live. Gays thrive here, Hispanics are finding acceptance as true members of our community. SUNDANCE and Mr Redford's largesse have contributed mightily to questionining authority, breaking outside the very ultraconservative "normality" of the Mormon church state. On the contrary, the liberal/left, GLBT, arts and other clearer thinking causes out to flood Park City and Sundance.org with good will, money, visitors to demonstrate to the world of bigotry, closed mindedness, and ignorance that good will truly overcome the tactics demonstrated by Rove, (notamormon) who is from UTAH, and the successes of everything outside of SUNDANCE and PARK City. Park City is Green, Blue progressive and welcoming. Please come to live here and force the boundaries of bigotry and fear further away

1st time here....be gentle

I listened to NPR this morning on the way up the mountain. It reminded me that was must take note everytime we hear our favorites trying to take apart "the plan" articulated in good Democratic fashion of "our opponent".
In this case m'man Obama nit pickin Hilary's NAFTA and Health care. Some of us lefties during the good 90's were hopeful after Bill C embraced NAFTA as a rising tide "might lift some other boats"....we get caught up in the rightness of our own power to compromise. Hillary and Obama are neither of them WRONG on NAFTA OR Health Care. In November we will embrace either of these fine candidates. Right now I am going with Obama for his vision articulation of the greater vision vs. any 82 point plans any lefty or moderate can come up with.

In the meantime shaming on you's and defining the other candidate's points on issues oughta be out of bounds. Both of you Barack and Hilary, LEAD OUR NATION! Bring out our best
