Right....the core ideology...which is why I am a Democrat.
But, I do think that the Democratic party machine...at least the money
grubbing/raising part has sold out to a similar degree. After receiving way
too many requests for money with attendant emails (targeted towards our baser
instincts that reflected the back and forth slander and sniping)...I eliminated
myself from the list. Two sides of the same coin....where is the Democratic
party?
Is it possible to restructure from a new set of small parties (as was
mentioned). Isn't this what the Koch brothers did for the Republican's and now
we have the Tee Hee Party to add insanity to the mix.

Well, except that compassion is the very basis of Democratic
ideology.
Kind of a catch-22 for those for whom compassion is a core
value: It's hard to show compassion for folks whose ideology
makes a virtue of *lack* of compassion and who want to
eliminate compassion from public policy. Those who lack
compassion, on the other hand, don't face a similar conflict
between their ideals and the urge to demonize their
ideological opponents.
