14. The party establishment has been forcing their ideas onto liberal democrats.

Nice to see liberals compared to teabaggers...................very interesting, though, seeing how progressives are intended to be demonized and marginalized.

None of this is the progressive wing's fault - I have been watching the Democratic party slide to the right for a long time, and I refuse to accept it meekly, for the sake of what? More Corporatism with a different letter on the game jersey.
Let the media howl, who cares.

"trying to force their ideas on the Third Way party establishment? Bullshit. The Third Way has been slithering onto the Democratic Party, and now they are "the establishment"?

Neither party has a stable base, really, unless that means people who will vote party line no matter what is being done to them. We laugh at the GOP voters for doing that, if I recall correctly.
That particular "center" cannot hold. Even with name-calling and attempted shaming or whatever.
