Democratic Leadership Rethinking Abortion
fucking hell. i hate being right.
on a ndn chatboard, i screeded that the dnc would sell out brown people, women and gays - all for the sheeny shine of winning. (and remember that earlier post musing which of our progressive principles we should dump?) our party is so pathologically soulless, we are going to go soft on reproductive rights for women so we can turn some fucking red states blue.
you know what people on my side of the tracks call that shit?
we call it shit.
and what progressive has EVER advocated for late term abortion on demand?? jeebus.
what else are we going to go soft on, people? what else are we going to take a dive on? what else are we going to compromise for the allure of winning? do i want to win? yes! i want to kick republican ass all over the place. but we win with our values and with actions that support those values. by going soft on abortion, we lose everything.
so so so pissed angry.
hmm...let's see. which constituents has the dnc screwed...?
brown people, check.
women, check.
who's next?
[update: here's where to go to give the dnc some feedback.]
