middle ground with Rs is an effective way forward and will build a stronger party for one; the notion that the best way to move forward is to triangulate to attract more moderates; the notion that we need to be "realistic" about big money involvement in financing campaigns; the notion that we all have to/had to sacrifice in order to recover from the 2008 housing/finance collapse; the idea that we need to look forward rather than dwell on the past (e.g., impeachment is off the table); the notion that the horse already left the barn regarding globalism/migration of American industry overseas without deliberate or real regard for impacted workers; that retraining is the way out of structural change -- caused by basically greed and helped by policy -- that afflicts the American workforce; that deregulation of finance and Wall Street is somehow acceptable; that the move from a progressive tax table with an upper tax rate of 90+ to one of 39% is acceptable; to name a few off the top of my head. That it's okay to shift financing of student loans to the private sector, that the rise in health care costs was basically okay until it reached 4 or 5 times the rate of inflation or more; that we couldn't accomplish things we wanted to accomplish because of the Rs. I can go on if you like.
