14. If you want a democratic majority for the foreseeable future, you may want to go slow.
My opinion is that we are talking about two different things in a way. There is the liberal ideal of where we want the country to go, and then there is reality and what a plurality of Americans are willing to go along with. American's don't want ideology, that much is clear from this election. I think it's less about liberal vs. conservative as it is pragmatism vs. ideology. American's want shit to get fixed. Obama's and the democrats job is to convince Americans that the way you fix them are with sound, realistic, and btw, progressive solutions. If the Dem's do this methodically then we have a sustainable majority for a long time...
