Deep Thought: What being a Democrat means to me.

Today at the Democrats Abroad International meeting, one lovely young woman from France said that she was interested him hearing what being a Democrat means to us - why do we do it?

The next speaker after her complimented the presenation that had just been given, saying that having attended the earlier meeting to discuss it, which had apparently been lively, he felt that the final presentation was (probably not an exact quote): "A beautiful synthesis of complaint and argument into something really great."

I responded that that's what being a Democrat means to me.

A beautiful synthesis of complaint and argument.

Discuss.
