Because the Democratic leadership knows that you will vote "D" in 2006 and 2008 NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO.

Until you and people like you let go of the fantasy that the Democratic party is a liberal party, and grab onto the reality that a third party is needed, NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE.

What, exactly, will it take to convince you of this?

  • Accept pro-lifers into the party? Done.
  • Accept NAFTA-style job giveaways? Done.
  • Confirm right wing idealogues into Supreme Court? Done.
  • Reject environmentally sound energy policies? Done.
  • Eliminate taxes on the rich? Done.
  • Ignore health insurance problems of the poor? Done.

What will it take?

Because the Democratic leadership knows that you will vote "D" in 2006 and 2008 NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO.

This is absolutely key. Until liberals defect from the party in substantial numbers, the party will not give a shit what we think. We are, after all, in the bag. And as long as we're in the bag, they have no incentive whatsoever to listen to us, much less do our bidding.

The argument will be offered by Dem partisans that too much is at stake for us to spend an election cycle handing the Republicans victory after victory just to send a message to the DNC. When will that ever not be the case? I say too much is at stake for us to let the party continue on its present path. If we don't shake them to the foundations during the mid-term elections, they're not going to be listening in 2008.

And if they don't listen then, we move on. What is the Democratic Party without liberals? Twenty-five, maybe fifty middle class white guys, all of whom run blogs. (I'm only half-kidding.) We don't need the Democratic Party, but it cannot exist without us. It's time to make sure they know that.
