Someone with an account over there needs to ask them WHY are they a spirited Democrat? For what goal? For the goal of helping people? For the goal of empowering the powerless?
We must focus on our similarities rather than our differences. From that, we can figure out that we are all really on the same path. We all want to protect individual liberties, we just have different ways of understanding the best path to opening up the most freedom to the most people. Well meaning Democrats (not corporate whore Democrats, or well meaning but brainwashed by corporate interests) generally want to break up the monolithic corporate and multiple-exponent-of-10-wealth interests which seem to have unfair control over the common worker. Libertarian Conservatives have the same view, they just approach it from a different angle.
The problem is, both sides are corrupted by the consolidated wealth and influence which is already in place, and would do anything long of broadcasting lies, cheating known rules of law and order, and actually killing those who are opposed. I say "long" of, and not "short" of, because these things have actually occurred. You need only look to those assassinated during one decade to get an idea - JFK, MLK, RFK, all during the 60s, and what followed afterwards? Since when did the Constitution mean anything after the 60s? Is rule of law somehow obsolete because we have Google? Or do binding limitations on government power over individuals actually MEAN SOMETHING in this day and age?
