I dont agree with the premise of this article at all. The party absolutely does have a base, and the base wants social justice and economic opportunity. Thats universal and obvious. Thats more than enough right there create a platform around without reaching to the fringes like pro lifers, gun nuts and zionists. Josh Marshall who runs that blog is a zionist so maybe thats what he is talking about. He wants to pretend there is no unifying philsophy amongst Dem voters, so theres room for "centrist’ nuttery in the party, and room for tacit war crimes supporting nuts like himself. There is not, because of our strong base drive toward social justice.
Not only does the Democratic Party have a base, its base is larger and more loyal than those of almost any other party in the world, even in other two-party systems. Voter loyalty in general is extremely high in the US, which is one of the major issues that has led to the current constitutional crisis.
Exactly. Its utterly fucking ridiculous to suggest that there isn’t a Democratic base. Its just that the base has been at odds with party leadership for 10 years.
