Waiting for Stalingrad

[Max Sawicky]

. . .  But could you guys explain to me how this would actually work --
how Nader causing the defeat of Gore would either not change things or
make them worse for the left in the Democratic party? The DLC strategy was
always based on the reality that moving right gained more votes in the
center than it lost them on the left because the left had nowhere to go.  
But if the Democrats lost an election because they lost more votes on the
left than they gained them in the center, why wouldn't that call this
strategy into question?  . . .

because they are not rational beings.  The ocean liner
of their minds is not so easily turned around.

There has been some recognition on their part of a need
for rapprochement, but it hasn't gone very far.  Maybe
it will go further, maybe not.  I couldn't say.
