The DP isn't a waste or harmful just because it's a quicksand.  It is on the
other side.  And it is that simple.

Don't tell me about "the ranks," because the Democrats, like the Republicans
are a "caucus party."  Everything done and decided is entirely top-down and
the voters have to make the best of what they're offered on a
take-it-or-leave-it basis.  It has no "members" or "ranks," just consumers
voting their consumer preferences.

Nobody on this list is actually "a Democrat" any more than they own an
automobile manufacturer just because they buy what they're selling....

But people can talk themselves into believing some remarkable fucking
things.  If 25% of the qualified voters in the U.S. think they're Democrats,
it means little more than the fact that 40% think people get abducted by
aliens or 65% believe in angels or that 70% have accepted Jesus Christ as
their personal savior.
