What do the pundits mean when they say the Democrats need to re-invent themselves? [View all]

Do they mean Dems need to become radical progressives? Do we throw away decades of fighting for power to be able to address the needs of minorities, women, immigrants, the disabled, gays, the aged, workers? Do they mean that we focus mostly not he issues that concern white males and their wages and education?

Otherwise our re-invention makes us Republicans.

What I see is that we are weak to toot our own horns about our history, good and bad. But there is much more good that we did than bad. There is a lot to be proud of. We have to stop allowing rich white men to write the only history taught in schools. We have to stop being afraid of taking a STRONG stance against the proliferation of guns throughout our society. If that is what re-invention means I am all for it.
