(25 posts)I still don't get what it is.
Once upon a time we use to be the party of the nations conscience..always inclusive and open to differences of opinion..opinions that we could change because of the strength of our arguments.
Now we stifle differences of opinion. We place labels on people now making sure they know they're not welcome unless they agree?
IMHO our party, our ideology really came into its own on the backs of those brave souls during the 60's. Those brave souls who fought for (and suffered thru beatings and having labels placed on them) stopping corporate greed, needless wars, gender rights, civil rights, protecting the environment, social justice, free speech..the list could go on and on. That wonderful generation spreading truth and love. They wanted debate because the merits of their solutions were strong, right and could stand on their own...how did we get to where we're at now?
I'm not disagreeing with your premise, I just hate to see debate stifled and labels thrown around.
Peace
