Next Democratic president should give Republicans 'a taste of their own medicine'! (AlterNet)

[Jack Valentino]

13. so we should continue to attempt to be 'better than the Republicans',

which seems to have NEVER won any elections,
while the base of our party considers us 'weak'
for standing by while the GQP does anything it wants to do.

Ok. Got that. I disagree.

Almost all of the progressive policy proposals of the Democratic party
are supported by polling of the majority of voters---
in many cases, even a majority of Republican voters, particularly
'making the rich pay their fair share of taxes'.....


I reject 'defeatism' and 'unilateral political disarmament'
as does the vast majority of our party base---

(and we LOST the last election BECAUSE the party base became demoralized...)
