Welcome to the Populist Reform of the Democratic Party Group, also known as the Populist Reform Group (or just PRG).

I hope you make this spot your DU home page. Please check the PRG Folder, and share your ideas and content... we especially appreciate your positive strategies for populist, progressive reform of our Democratic party.

SOME GROUND RULES:

• The PRG is a safe house for DUers interested in the progressive, populist reform of our Democratic party.
• If you disagree with PRG's message or goal, that's OK. Find a group that fits, or enjoy the DU forums.
• Everyone starts out as welcomed. No one earns their way in - only their way out.
• Follow all DU rules. Don't put the group at risk

If you have questions or concerns, ask a host (demwing / NYC_SKP / MannyGoldstein).

I LOVE IT! NYC_SKP Nov 2014 #1

And I'll be the second! Clearly, with both me and NYC_SKP on board, it's a big tent! ;-) villager Nov 2014 #2

God, I'll say! Eleanors38 Nov 2014 #10

And bigger still with the arrival of the great-company-outside-of-any-gun-thread Eleanor38! villager Nov 2014 #12

Hell, look at who's hosting this mess. Eleanors38 Nov 2014 #38

Did the third-wayers realize they were creating a monster!? villager Nov 2014 #39

Oh, I think they are aware, but think they can beat it back. Eleanors38 Nov 2014 #40

True enough -- they rely on progressives being routinely dismissible villager Nov 2014 #41

Uproot a stagnant DNC-type party structure or 2 Eleanors38 Nov 2014 #42

Aren't we progressives being reprimanded/encouraged by the center-right faction to do just that? villager Nov 2014 #54

Well, they asked for it. We should accomodate. Eleanors38 Nov 2014 #55

We should accommodate... in spades! villager Nov 2014 #56

And without violating any board TOS. merrily Nov 2014 #53
