Damn straight.
Democrats don't actually stand for anything other than making money from politics. Republicans also want to profit off of politics, but they also have a philosophy they actually believe in. Policy wise the DNC is just a version of the GOP that isn't radical or retarded. They support most wars initially, support the war on terror, support the war on drugs, support laws against sex work, and until recently they were throwing LGBT's under the bus. Then they allowed the GOP to loot Social Security and Medicare to support tax cuts for the 1%, and they caved on the public option easy as pie. At least for conservatives their party actually stands it's ground, and means what it says; or if they don't, they get thrown out on their ass next election. I think if there's one thing we can learn from conservatives it's how to do politics.
It's long past time to clean house.
