Populist Reform of the Democratic Party

And, I think the problem, also, is that Rand Paul claims he's against the Wars (funding, etc. of Military Actions) we are engaged in. So even though he's truly disgusting there isn't anywhere else for those who prefer to fight for Peace and Diplomacy instead of War to go in the Dem Party these days--even within the Progressive Wing. So, if Rand Paul gives a voice against these "Endless Wars" then he's going to get support on that one issue.

Longtime Democratic Peace Activist David Swanson can't even be heard here on DU and Media Bejamin has long since vanished here along with "Veterans for Peace" and other sites trying to work to stop the MIC. So.....where do we go? I'm a Peace and Diplomacy Advocate but, there's nothing I can post here on DU about Peace efforts and how can one talk about Diplomacy being better than War when people are called "Putin Lovers and Pootie Ass Kissers" if one thinks demonizing Putin and threatening him is more productive than Hard Work/Constructive Diplomacy. Or, how about the latest demonizing of Venezuela's elected leader where Obama has now declared Venezuela a "Threat to the US" (and we all know what that means, by now.)

That's a big problem. And this all started when we elected a Dem President. When Bush was President "Anti-War" actions were very popular and voices for peace could be heard everywhere in Dem Circles.
