NOT to fight the surveillance state, NOT to stand up against the abuses of the NSA.
Of course, the solution to the "Libertarian" problem would be easy for principled Democrats: Become the party *against* surveillance and the police state; *against* assaults on whistleblowers, journalists, and the Constitution; *against* more warmongering; and for *increasing* rather than cutting social safety nets.
What a sick revelation of the state of our party, that corporate Democrats would suggest NOT fighting on these important issues, because Libertarians may claim to fight for some of them. And that corporate Democrats are reduced to even caring about the messaging of a fringe party, just because they cannot tear themselves away from their corrupt corporate Masters to own the issues they should own.
