What ARE LITMUS tests for Dems?

18. It depends on the person, and issue. There is no doubt in my mind that 99.9% of the Democrats would

say that Social Security and Medicare are the litmus test for any candidate to run as a Democrat.

The issue being discussed currently on DU is that the same criteria should apply to choice.

The reality is that it will be very difficult to convince someone who is strong choice or strong anti-choice otherwise. As can be seen from the posts here, with both sides presenting the reasons why their position is the correct one, no one's mind is going to be changed.

Those who believe that a women's right to choose is a human rights issue, and that should never be compromised, and those who believe that having a Democratic majority in Congress is critical to preventing what we are going through now, nothing is going to change those perspectives significantly.
