This board is absolutely unreadable and it's not even an election year.
That takes some doing, so, congratulations DU?
But, excuse me if I'm wrong here, isn't an expressed goal of this site to discuss how to get Democrats elected and build a Democratic majority?
Is it not possible that goal requires different strategies in different places? And that our party is aware of that?
I don't think that it takes too sophisticated of political analysis to see that economic populism is a successful strategy in the Midwest, and that social issues are bigger drivers on the coasts and other regions.
Isn't it then just smart to cultivate candidates that will appeal to their given electorates?
Why are both sides here complaining about the other making "purity" demands, while making their own purity demands? Why are there are even two sides? This is madness.
Every candidate has baggage. Every candidate has a shit vote (or "present" vote) on their records. That's true for Bernie, Hillary and Barack. Imperfect, all of them. But all of them out there busting their asses to build what we are actively tearing apart on this board.
C'mon DUers, we're better than this. We're smarter than this. And we know (from painful experience) what this leads to, more GOP asses in seats that should have a Dem in them...and ALL of us failing.
Let's not do that anymore.
Humbly submitted for your consideration,
Barack_America

Good luck with that.
The democrat party is all about diversity as long as everyone thinks exactly, EXACTLY, the same. The DUmp is just a lower intelligence and sanity microcosm of that guiding factor.

This is your problem right here: Nobody likes Democrats except for the perpetually miserable and the mentally ill.
How you get Democrats elected is to stop being Democrats.
