(76 posts)I think there is room for constructive discussion about what dems are doing and where the party needs to go. Positive thoughts and suggestions (I know there's already a place on DU for that). I just think negative complaining about what dems should be doing based on personal opinion doesn't really add to discussions. A lot of good information gets lost when the discourse centers on complaining or not complaining about democratic leaders. We can't know all that's going on in the background and jumping to conclusions helps no one and stops any positive discussion in it's tracks.
I have no desire to be a politician. I have feelings about the job and who does it. I also know I have no clue about how to do the job. I think it's easy sometimes for prople to think we know exactly what should be done but unless we are in job I feel we really have no idea what the job is. We are being guided by fear, anxiety, anger.
Which is why we continue to get into a rut regarding complaining or not complaining about democrats. To me it's a negative discussion, so therefore there is no answer. It just goes round and round. It's like the saying maybe the hokey-pockey IS what's all about. To complain or not to complain is a negative and therefore has no solution.
