The Democratic Party could take a stand and denounce and bar members that do this shit. But they don’t. They don’t take principled stands in order to be a Big Tent party. And because of this Third Way strategy, they lose by dilution. Over and over and over.
It’s certainly starting to look like that’s the entire idea.
Do you want the Dem party to run more like the GOP where it’s very much the way you describe?
I don’t think the Dem party is as corrupt as the GOP, so they don’t tend to stick to hard line beliefs.
I disagree with the actions of the entire GOP and those 8 dems but just thought I’d add perspective.
It’s a good point
While barring members might go a bit far, does the Democratic Party not have planks to its platform? Or is it really just anyone “not republican”?
Beyond that, the idea that denouncement of members is too divisive is kind of a lark on a place like Lemmy.
Yeah, they used to. It’s really starting to be the “not Republican” party…
Super sucks, hope to turn it around though.
