There's nothing inherently good or bad in any of this. It's just that MoveOn's values aren't middle-American values. They're the values of an educated, steadily employed middle and upper-middle class with time to dedicate to politics -- and disposable income to leverage when they're agitated.

Unlike many on this forum, I do not rejoice at the impotence of the Democratic party. The party has been hijacked by the radical Left. This is not good for our nation which is designed to function as a two-party system of government.

I fear that if the Republicans get too much power they will start acting like Democrats. Other feel this is already occurring.

The Democrats need to reject the far Left Berkeley communists and re-embrace traditional blue-collar values that the party used to represent. Or they need to go the way of the Whigs and the Federalists and be replaced by a party that will reach out to blue collar voters.

Having virtually all of the power consolidated in one party while the opposition party is completely marginalized is not a good thing despite what many on this forum believe.

Actually this country was designed to function without political parties. Only due to the the early debates between federalism and anti federalism did the basis for two party competition form.
