    The DNC needs the far right. Without it, their candidates would have to run on actual positions, rather than just “Vote for us because we’re not Republicans.”

      That’s not really fair. Democrats voting records and policy agenda are always on point. The fact they can’t win elections to ensure their agenda is the problem.

            Nah

            My point was that their voting record is absolutely not as good as you claimed it to be

            What they say they’re for is entirely irrelevant of they don’t actually back it up with their actions

                It’s not, you can look at the voting record.

                It’s not what? This reads like you agree with me

                pleading with you. You’ve swallowed a load of bunk.

                You have no idea what my actual beliefs might be, I’ve only pointed out that your point was silly

        Too many people on the left have the attitude of “no one likes him because he has no friends” – too stupid to see their own opinion is why the situation exists.

        Coupled with being unable to accept they are ever wrong and the blindness to progress that has occurred. The left is its own worst enemy. The right hasn’t had to try painting us as ineffective in decades, we do it better to ourselves.
