Alienating your base means alienating a LOT of volunteers and other useful campaigners

It's not just the votes from the base they're throwing away by continuing to let us down the way Schumer and DiFi just have.

They're losing the votes, in addition to the votes that the most passionate members of the Democratic party could help to pull in, if we weren't discouraged time and time again from putting our passion for Constitutional, Democratic government to use during election season.

2. Yet another of the 999 reasons that people like these are cancerous

to both the Democratic party- and the country at large.

And like a cancer growth- they need to be excised or at the very least, marginalized.

3. And this is the reason why I think they will be a low turn out among dems in the '08 elections

Call me crazy but I think it might (and I do might) cause it to be low enough to (with the aid of cheating) give the pugs a shot a winning back the house and senate if not keep things as is (they know the presidency's lost).

After all this is what happens when you continuously PO you base. Good by morning in american. Hello Darkness and night.

5. They will learn this in 2008, like they never have before.

The DLC are a useless bunch of corporate parasites. They have exploited the sweat and shoe leather of legions of volunteers and activists. This year they will be dipping into their coffers to pay people to do the outreach that we always did for free. I know SO many people who tell me that they will only be working on the campaigns of local candidates, NOT the DNC coordinated campaign. I don't blame them.
