By disposition, I am a fairly far-left progressive who would like to see the party become more economically populist and less conflicted and apologetic about its views on a host of social issues and public policies. There are many aspects of the Washington consensus that I find misguided, repugnant or even immoral, and I don’t want to be complacent about faults I see within the Democratic Party.
Great!!!
Me too…the main reason that I have remained on this site is because I believe this to be true.
But…
#2-Why do you allow zeroing-out entities like nalbar to continue to give zero
ratings to people like me, who are posting in support of precisely what you are saying above?
In the last several hours, Nalbar has given more or less successful zero ratings to at least 6 replies/comments that I have made to the neocentrists who are trying wth all of their meager might to McCarthyize this site.
I do not mind open debate, but…really, Martin!!! Why do you allow this to continue?
Not taking any actions at all is in itself an action. Stand up, brother!!! I would be very happy…even a bit relieved, truth be told…to simply stop posting here. Just say the word.
But if you neither say that word while at the same time allow nalbar-like entities to run comments off of the site by dint of the use of zero ratings…where the fuck do you really stand?
Stuck irreparably between Scylla and Charybdis?
Very sad if true.
This is a long-term answer that I am requesting here.
It is past time for you to make up your mind and take a stand.
Forward or backward.
Your…existential…choice.
Later…(maybe)…

P.S.Due to repeated McCarthyite attempts at zeroing out my comments, I am now going to answer attacks and make comments/repies in the form of standalones. It simply takes up too much of my time to ferret through the achives to see what has survived the depredations of the neocentrists…especally nalbar…who are trying to take control of this site.
Go here for my answer to oaguabonita.
Thank you…
