Do you think the Dem party should move more right, left or stay the same to win future elections?

Please explain

Lol, the town I live in starts with an 'L'.

In college, my nickname was the L (town name) Liberal.

I was a business major, my circle of friends were mostly conservatives.

Now, 45 years later, we're so far to the right that it's absurd.

So, yeah, I'd like to see the party move to the left a little.
But I'd still vote for Hillary over Trump even though that makes you cringe.
I vote for what I believe is the greater good. I prefered Sanders, I don't always get what I want but I'll always be a team player till the end.

What does that mean?

 

[tangerinegreen555]

What does that mean?

I will vote for the Democrat and hope for the best.

Would you vote for the Democratic candidate even if you viewed their policies to be worse than the Republican candidate?

as if that were remotely close to being true.

We got played in the primaries, on both sides of the aisle.

Perhaps it's not about differences but similarities.

What happens when a candidate comes along who dispenses with party and just talks about the issues?

Didn't think trump would be in office. maybe now the dem party has to.

He/she wins

Sanders has proven political labels are societal constructs designed to divide. Moderate Democrats call him a 'far-left "radical"' and condemn his policies as being "too progressive", while Republicans deep in "Trump country" in places like Kentucky and West Virginia applaud his conviction for single-payer and helping the working class.

Seriously? This describes YOU pretty well, buddy!

You still haven't set foot out of your safe haven of identity politics and onto the field of actual issues.

Yeah, but that's not happening.

The right isn't planet friendly enough and they engineered the wealth redistribution from the bottom and middle to the top over the last 30 something years for starters.

Better chance of hitting the lottery and getting struck by lightning the same day.

then it should be incredibly easy for you to find the quotes of me saying that.

at some point we have to decide what's more important: the facts, or your personal feelings.

So why haven't you voted on the poll?

And yet I've been unable to.

Strange, that...

Care to point me to where you do work on the issues themselves?

because i'd vote for a botulism-ridden hot dog over trump.
