Empowering Democrats in 2006
Empowering Democrats in 2006
January 1st, 2006

Recently, a few people have asked here what we think we can do to empower Democrats in 2006. When I think in terms of empowerment, I think of building up confidence and being supportive of others, and enlightening and educating both the people of our country and our leaders.

The blogosphere is a tool that liberals and progressive can use wisely to empower the Democratic Party — or it can be used to further divide the party. We’re a diverse party with many ideas and ideals. We can agree or disagree on those ideas and ideals, but it’s always important to find common ground. Sometimes finding common ground means standing in support of leaders we don’t always agree with, in order to strengthen the party. I’ve said many times there are no perfect politicians, as there are no perfect individuals.

1. Amen. From now until the mid-terms, we should all be in the Big Tent
keeping our hands busy and our criticism of this-or-that Dem to ourselves. From Nov 04 until now was the time to wring our hands, fight, and reform a consensus. Now is the time to join together.

2. I hope
others will start to see this as well. We have to get tough and strong and stick together in a positive manner.
