A lot of the members on this site are Democrats. But it's become fairly obvious that our current dogmas, or those from November 2004, are simply not as appealing to the electorate as we felt they were. I felt Democrats and Republicans should have a place to discuss ways to mend the Democratic party. Maybe this could be some sort of think tank. I just felt it would be interesting to see the different views people have on ways to regain majorities in Congress and the Presidency.
In my opinion, Democrats have got to stop talking about Gay Marriage. Yeah the democrats are the party that supports Gay Marriage, but let's be frank. For the next few years it's a losing battle. Until the current youth movement takes power Gay Marriage simply won't be a reality. However, in 20 years I can guarantee that it Gay Marriage will be legal. Second we have to avoid hotbed issues such as abortion. It's such a controversial issue that any debate over it will not lead to any sort of compromise but only fierce schisms. Abortion may always be an issue but Roe vs. Wade has already been passed lets start fighting battles that need to be fought. Let's raise awareness on the facts of stem cell research and the plight of poverty within the lower classes. We have to return to the ideology that made the democratic party so seductive in the 60s and under Clinton.
