• Dershowitz really pissed at Democrats

    Dershowitz announced he's changing his party regostration to Republican.

    Quite frankly, I thought he'd done it years ago.

    There are times I think YOU might give up on the Democrats but you
    always seem to find a way to stay with them, however reluctantly. Maybe
    you put a clothespin on your nose? ;-)

    I'm a Democrat because the party means something to me. Unfortunately,
    it means nearly nothing to today's crop of politicians.

    A few days ago, I heard a Republican caller to C-SPAN Washington
    Journal, a Republican who just wanted to be a conservative, voice
    similar complaints about her party.

    My state has no party registration so there is no dramatic "leaving the
    party".

    I know you aren't happy about their embrace of the Palestinian cause and
    I don't remember you having any enthusiasm for Kamala Harris, even if
    you have a lot of issues with Trump. I would have thought that might be
    enough right there to make you leave but something keeps you in the
    Democratic fold. Perhaps you're hoping that by staying supportive of the
    Dems you can help pull them back to their more traditional positions and
    away from the current shift to the left?

    I'm too stubborn to be forced out by all the assholes.

    I was briefly a Republican in high school, before I could vote, as I
    greatly admired Gerald Ford, but the suburban legislators were a bunch
    of political hacks and I became a Democrat.

    I've long felt that politics was based on a pendulum: when it swings too
    far one way, right or left, the broader forces of society start to pull
    it back towards center. I feel like the Democrats in particular are at
    least due, if not badly overdue, to start swinging back towards the
    center. Of course a lot of Americans are dismayed with the Republicans
    and feel they're due to start swinging back toward the center, too.

    Then again, I've been shocked at how polarized America got in the past
    20 years. I don't think I ever expected things to get as bad as they are
    with respect to polarization.

    I completely agree with you on both counts. It's a little like Physics -
    for every action, there's an opposite reaction. Or something like that...
