(10,942 posts)Unfortunately, many of the most prevalent Left posters on DU appear to be of the second strain. Look, Moderate-Liberal, and Moderate voters dominate the electorate. As long as we show up in numbers, no one else wins. We are the majority, although a somewhat disinterested one most of the time. The far Left and far right have passion, if not commonsense, that is the only thing that distinguish the two groups. Live well and calm, you are in the majority of grounded voters. We are changing the nation for the better, we got health care reform, gay rights, more economic rights for women. We still have battles to win and must stop backsliding in states that republicans control - but we have made remarkable progressive. Maybe we should call ourselves "Progressives" because we have accomplished more that the people that passionately claim that label have and we have accomplished those changes in far less time.
