Reply #10: Whether or not there was election fraud, we can still hone our message. [View All]

I wholeheartedly support the efforts to explore voter fraud, and I'm frustrated that most of our party leaders refuse to commit to such a crucial issue in a democratic society as the integrity of our elections process, which right now is viewed by the rest of the world as inadequate.

However, it never hurts us to improve our message, and try to frame it so that it has more appeal to Americans....I do NOT mean that we should alter or dilute our party's principles in some shallow effort to win more votes. That, to a large extent, is what the DLC has done. I'm only saying that we need to make a conscious, unceasing effort to point out the ways that the core values of the Democratic party are distinctly American values.

I believe that there was vote fraud, because I've seen a lot of very convincing proof. I support and encourage those who are have the will and the means to fight it. However, whether or not we really won the election, it is still crucial that we work on presenting our beliefs and goals to voting Americans in a way that will inspire them, the way we once did.
