Dem Leadership Can't Stop Sabotaging Its Chances To Win The Majority Report



The Democratic Party's struggles with its voter base continue, specifically on the topic of Israel. Sam Seder and Emma Vigeland scrutinize Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, who, as head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, is pushing candidates funded by pro-Israel lobbying groups despite polling that shows a significant and growing disconnect with Democratic voters. Mr crew argues that this strategy is not only out of touch but also actively sabotages the party's ability to win elections.

First since the days of saint roney regan the republican blue dogs and the unhappy republicans have been leaving their party and coming over to the Democratic Party. This has been going on since the late 70's/early 80's. All this has done is skew our original Democratic Party farther right. This is why I repeat that the Progressive Party is what the Democratic Party was originally. But with our party moving so far right there is really only one party att, you either vote crazy republican or "moderate republican". Our Democratic Party is presently fighting for the money that the republican party is getting. Our party is hoping that the billionaires get tired of throwing money away with their choice of lawmakers. And we all know that the billlionaires don't just wan tax cuts they want every thing. Our part hope they will start spending their billions on the democratic party. This is why the Democratic party went out of their way to run a democratic candidate anywhere there was a Progressive running. They also refused to finance any progressives who were running against a republican. Democratic Party higher ups want their mits on the billions being spent on politics while the Progressives want to get the money out of politics. How many time have the Democratic Party faught for the over throwing of the Citizens United rulling(?) yes they will mention it and immediately stop because they 'have no in power'. They do it so well that, think about this, NOBODY is talking about over throwing the Citizens Unitized ruling, therefore let the money flow...
