Democrats are good in the sense that Republicans are worse. Personally, I feel as though Republicans are too far to the north-east and Democrats too far north. Centrists are ok, but little is accomplished being a centrist. We need a south-west corner, and a south-east corner too. But Communism is too far(unless you count Native Americans and other small government, but that doesn't apply here.)

More on the flip.
My point is simple. It is not a point, rather a question. What is DailyKos really all about? What do we really admire? I admire the healthcare system of countries like Switzerland and Germany. The economy of the Chinese, Japanese, and EU. The planning of the Japanese. The potential that we have. Who do you admire? Is it Ghandi, Voltaire, Jefferson?
I feel we have strayed the course of what America was intended to be: For the people. Are Democrats for the people? Certainly more than the Republicans. Not enough more, I say. Our schools are absolute shit, just ask Bill Gates. We're all living in debt, an indentured servitude, if you will. Voting is a sham. Our food is chemically enhanced because it would otherwise taste like crap (why are so many people overweight?) Minimum wage is not a living wage. The list goes on and on and you know it! Democrats aren't doing enough. This wasn't intended to be a 2 party system! Why does it seem as If DKos is about nothing more than Democrats? We should be for human rights and happiness.
Take the quiz on the link provided if you haven't already. There's this one too, although I find it may be bias. http://www.lp.org/quiz/ I'm not advocating the Libertarian party, but it's ok by me.
Howard Dean is definitely our man. We need serious restructuring in the Democratic Party. I feel as though it no longer exists. We need something new. Grassroots my friends. Semper Fi.
PS Hillary will be another nail in the coffin. Ask what's his name "Confessions of a former ditto head" dude. The going joke in my house is to run her and hope they(you know who) runs Rice, and at the last second we unleash Dean on her. Anyway... What are you Cheering and Jeering"About?
