Sorry I misunderstood. I completely agree that Dems need to start believing in things and fighting for them. They used to stand for protecting SS and Medicare; they've gone soft on those. Per Ryan, the Dems will get a chance to redefine themselves next year when the Repubs go after entitlement programs 'cause the deficit is too big and we can't possibly cut taxes or military.

Choosing no tolerance on sexual abuse is also not a bad platform plank.

My Dem hero, style-wise, is Lyndon Johnson. He was horribly wrong about the Viet Nam, but he was a tough fighter and an extraordinarily effective politician. Dems used to know how to fight like junkyard dogs; they need to recover that skill. I would think the Trump administration would give them all the ammunition they need.
