In reply to the discussion: Confession from Cory Booker today [View all]PatSeg
(49,997 posts)48. Yes, I think that was quite an overstatement
Like any political party, Democrats of course have made mistakes, but in recent years, I believe most of them have been far better than most could have hoped for.
My main criticism would be the times when they fought amongst themselves when there were serious threats from the opposition to address. I don't expect them to march lockstep with one another like republicans tend to do, but a little more loyalty and support for other Democrats would make a huge difference. Right now the problems with republicans, MAGATS, and the Trump administration far outweigh any problems within the party.

Do R's make mistakes? I think they act with intent. The actions may be clearly wrong to us but not to them
