We had the weakest, most milquetoast, imaginable democrats who were desperately in need of an anatomy lesson to locate their spines that the American people put into office to oppose Bush. Is it any wonder that Pelosi would divide the party against the populist and progressive energy that is pushing us forward?

We don't need "prodigious fundraising" we need more candidates like Al Franken, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders. We need to take the party and the country away from the wealthy and bring it back to the people, not merely trade wealthy people who happen to be in control.
