Is there such a thing as a DINO

[SuperDemocrat]

I think we have all heard of the term RINO but I think there is something called a DINO which is democrat in name only. I might be one of those. Is there anyone else who might fit that description.

DINOs kind of help the democratic party whenever they need to attract 'conservative' votes.

Clinton. She'd be a Republican if it was politically expedient enough for her.

The problem is that there is no scenario were any republican would except a Clinton.
Although...

I'd say that is exactly why she isn't one...she's not going to sit around and strong arm somebody like John McCain.

She's only a Democrat because they gave her a ton of power (which is oh so clear this election cycle)...she's out for nobody but herself and stands for nothing but self-service.

I understand the term RINO after discussions with JakeStarkey and going to a meeting of Republicans Against Marijuana Prohibition
where I was the most traditional conservative in the room, and I'm a prochoice Democrat.

It's because of my Constitutionalist views that I don't believe in depending on federal govt for
health care, for ramming through public policies on marriage and bathrooms.
It's not a republican vs. democratic political thing, but a Constitutional issue that transcends party.

I think I am more of a progressive GREEN Democrat and that's why I don't gel with the
idea of just using the Democratic Party to get the most electable person nominated and pushed through.

I believe in building sustainable solutions directly and not depending on govt,
where the progressive Greens have aligned with the independent Libertarians.

When I think of DINO I think of people who believe in using the given system,
but keep voting and supporting Republican/Conservative candidates etc.

I am still extremely liberal/progressive like the other activists way outside the political mainstream.
So that isn't what I think DINO refers to.

I'm probably part of the extreme independents that align with both the
far left and far right who have to work outside the system to represent themselves
because neither party is able to accommodate this level of indie DIY self-govt.

Dear Yousaidwhat
I think we need to do the opposite. Instead of abandoning ship and letting the D party sink further and further
into selling out people for favors from govt to keep them enslaved and dependent,
I say invite all the other third parties, independents, and fringe groups to JOIN
the party, and set up their own caucuses and representation.
Set up a system of managing and employing ideas from all that diversity
to compile the best solution to each problem that has caused such groups to splinter off.

fulfill what it means to have equal inclusion and diversity, freedom of choice,
and protection of minoirity interests.

the same way Reagan merged into the Republican party and basically
reinvented it and created that brand of 80s abundance and freedom of wealth and waste, both the good and the bad excessive side of that lifestyle,
we need independent types to take back the Democratic Party and
do the equivalent of fulfilling what we should have been doing as promised all this time:
such as converting the failed prison system into medical facilities and effective
educational/job training programs so that we fund health care, education and housing with
the same budget we're already spending by stopping the waste of billions on crime and corruption.

The Greens that have researched the environmental issues,
and the Libertarians that push for reforms to the Federal Reserve
and other unconstitutional outgrowths of govt can all help to delegate
this reform work to local administrations to democratize the process and equalize the access
and participation by people directly instead of depending on a federal monopoly to regulate it all centrally.

I'd like to see a collaborative form of govt between the different parties
come out of this mix of candidates who show how diverse our interests and leadership is getting

There were Reagan Democrats.....and, once upon a time there were America-loving Democrats, but the party has shown a willingness to destroy any who aren't lock-step.

One must be a Leftist to be a Democrat today....
...or, a communist like Bernie.

It is like the NAZIs before them. They see themselves as a nation onto themselves.

I'd modify that slightly....

Nazi...national socialism....based on nationalism and/or race... Communism....international socialism.

I'd say they're closer to the latter.


Neither share American values.

Honestly, I think most Americans are somewhere in between parties, whether they know it or not.

I have friends who are Dems and always vote for the Dem candidate. I laugh when I see them post Facebook memes criticizing too many people on welfare, increasing taxes and illegal immigration.

Point is that the real mainstream voters have concerns about safety and giving up too much of their hard earned money.

A lot of Sander's supporters admitted that they weren't willing to pay more for his socialist ideas, yet support him anyway. Doesn't really make sense.

I think people vote based on whatever issue they have the most passion about, whether it's abortion or the bathroom issue, even though social issues aren't the biggest problems facing most Americans.

Every election, the left likes to center debate around issues that get people riled, but ones that aren't going to improve the country as a whole.

Seriously, before we worry about which bathroom people can use, we should have secure borders and a sound economy.
