Reply #34: I think many Dems are over-thinking the problem at hand [View All]

I see it very simple, we do not need to re-invent anything as far as the Constitution, etc. We just need to move slightly toward the center where most of the voters are. Appear less radical/leftist and more mainstream. As we appear more mainstream we will get more support from the center and pull those voters away from the far right. The closer we appear to the center, the more extreme the far right republicans will appear.

I think maybe DU is looked at as a little too far left of center to be mainstream. It certainly is a good web site and has it's place, but the user interface is a little harsh as well as some of the language. We need Dem web sites that cover the spectrum. Some center, some slightly right and some far left, so that we are not seen as being one thing or the other. The majority of Dems just really want free Democracy and the right to vote IMO. We can't let single issue voters kill us like we have been doing. We need to look more at the big picture and aim for the center where to voters are.
