We don't need to reach out to the "center", we need to reach out to the common people

12. Just common sense

Just doing the mundane, everyday taking care of business, is what has been the Democratic party meat and potatoes.

Recently we've expanded and gone into the equality field and pushed that envelope. The common people are all for it, but the elite are embarrassed that they have to share power with the non-elite.

What I am trying to say is that the leadership has not yet caught up to the people. LBJ was one of the last higher echelon to do so, and he delivered civil rights and health care and food stamps. And the party paid a price for that, for sometime.

Now we push equal rights and that is causing our leaders some discomfort and they just can't pull themselves up by their bootstraps and get with the program.

It is just common sense to make progress on many fronts. What we have failed to do is to deliver that progress message over and above the mass media. My hope is the social media can broadcast the Democratic party message.

That message is: We are for the people. All the people, all the time.
