Best way to win with the DLC and without progressives

Congrats.

(Of course, I know this is probably going to be locked).

Thanks for the compliment.

What do we have to do to end this.

Please tell me so we can stop this madness?

and voter intimidation/suppresion links off the front pages.

Time to mount our horses and take back our Party!
ONWARD!!

don't laugh, it could be done.

:)

After all, it's what they did to the Dems.

Heh....I voted for infiltration.

I think infiltration may be the way to go too!

I'll run as a Republican. Then, once I'm elected, I'll unmask as a liberal. I'll legalize marijuana, ban guns, end the Iraq War, let gays marry, etc. with my very first executive order.

MWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!

let's all do it.

!!!

Get with the times.

In 1992, the DLC suggested we move rightward, we did and we won. But that was yesterday's news. The DLC is not out there supporting SS privatization or outlawing abortion.

Get it right. There are substantial number of voters that agree on policy with DLC thinking and if we aren't competing for those voters, we ain't gonna win, and this game is about winning.

We don't have to pursue DLC types based on ideology, but we can appeal to it based on values and language and much the way Clinton did, appeal to the conservative value, but amplify a liberal governance in the process. Good example is increasing the Earned Income Tax Credit while raising taxes on the rich and "Mend It, Don't End It" on affirmative action.

I know you all hate hearing examples of this strategy working --but it simply does work!

they are all about moving right and doing the bidding of big business.
Yes there are people who agree with their philosophy, we call them republicans.

Wassup? You just keep on posting on your own thread to keep it alive. Keep promoting that we all join the DLC. I guess we'll have to donate money to them then.

go ahead.

:crazy:

The DLC are not Republicans, they are not demanding the party move right and they are not advocating the Republican party line. They are more business-friendly than many Democrats, but that doesn't make them Republicans. For years, many liberal Democrats were ardently pro-business because their core voters were blue collar workers.

The DLC is not our problem. I believe even Howard Dean subscribed to their positions throughout most of his term as Vermont governor.

They are republicans and this is not 1992 anymore.

thanx

It seems crazy to me that the DLC continues to ignore the facts. Then when you consider the possibility that losing is really their preference, it all seems to make sense.

I will withold my vote for the first time since 1972.
