Reply #16: That is why the Democratic party needs to stop being so moderate [View All]

And actually start supporting issues that will make a real difference in the average Americans' life. Rather than pussy footing around with Clinton's non-sensical health coverage plan, we need to come out four-square for universal health care(which the majority of Americans DO support, don't let the conventional wisdom fool you). Or come out solidly for a living wage, not just a minimum wage.

These are the types of issues that will not only raise the party profile, but they are issues that the average American cares about, and would love to see enacted, and would get people out to the polls in droves. Bread and butter money issues, things that ordinary folks can see plainly will make a huge positive difference in their lives, these are the issues we need to be pounding on.

But heaven forbid, this means that the Democrats would actually have to go against the wishes of their corporate masters, and we know damn well that isn't going to happen anytime soon, if at all.
