UPDATED: Vote Deadline Extended to Name Our Populist Movement within Democratic Party

[scarletwoman]

69. I'm not sure I care anymore. We can call ourselves the "Purple Turnips" & it won't mean anything if

we don't actually DO something.

We aren't anything at this point. We aren't a force, we aren't an activist organization, we aren't anything more than a few people on an internet forum dreaming dreams about what we would do if we had a say.

Sorry, I think this naming business has gotten silly. Right now, all we are is a few people posting in the "Populist Reform of the Democratic Party" group. Frankly, I think that's name enough unless and until we actually organize into something that might actually have some possibility of having an impact out in the real world outside of DU.

Also frankly, I have no interest in harking back to some mythical past of early 20th century "liberal" politics by invoking a long-dead president who was dealing with an entirely different national paradigm. We need to deal with today's reality, with language relevant to today.

Deciding on the perfect name does not a movement make.
