Reply #24: It's the difference between leading and following [View All]

All the DLC does is take polls and then say the party should just move whichever way the electorate is. That is not leadership. If we truly value the core beliefs we have always held as Democrats, then we should be trying to lead the electorate toward those values. It may take some time, and we may have to lose a few elections along the way, but it is hell of alot better than just turning into poll-watching, slightly moderate Republican clones. And in the long run it will be better for our party.
