Two tracks are what we need
We need two tracks of thinking.

In the short-term, we desperately need to convince people to vote for Democrats. Republicans are truly evil.

The second track has to be to move Democrats to the left. Much more to the left.

We need to get rid of the mindset of viewing our system as ultra-right-wing versus very-right-wing.

Our population isn't nearly as right-wing as our politicians.

Let's give the people a choice, for a change.

Settle for increments when we have to, but fight for more.

1. But won't those folks brought on board on the "first track".....
likely shift the base of the party making the "second track" that much harder to achieve?

3. You bet,
We definitely need to quit the roll over and play dead thing that the dems have gotten way too good at.
