(8,760 posts)that I promoted 3rd parties, which I don't. I just expect a lot more from the Democratic Party.
"not courageous" i.e., feeble....those are your words .
I want the party of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.....who said
"When you see a rattlesnake poised to strike, you do not wait until he has struck to crush him"
or
Harry Truman who said
Republicans approve of the American farmer, but they are willing to help him go broke. They stand four-square for the American home but not for housing. They are strong for labor but they are stronger for restricting labors rights. They favor minimum wage the smaller the minimum wage the better. They endorse educational opportunity for all but they wont spend money for teachers or for schools. They think modern medical care and hospitals are fine for people who can afford them. They consider electrical power a great blessing but only when the private power companies get their rake-off. They think American standard of living is a fine thing so long as it doesnt spread to all the people. And they admire of Government of the United States so much that they would like to buy it.
and . "The country can't afford another Republican Congress."
That is how a courageous Democratic Party speaks.
