In reply to the discussion: Contrary to popular opinion, DU is supposed to be for politically *liberal* people. Either that or [View all]cui bono
(19,926 posts)But let me ask you this. Where are your statistics showing how many votes/elections we've lost, where and when, because the Dem Party stand for a woman's right to choose? If you can't provide any solid data to confirm your claim then you really shouldn't say it. And also, how is changing to being anti-choice going to get us more votes? Where?
Second, you have to agree that not all Dems are liberals. I'm quite surprised to see you react with surprise at my having said that earlier, and I'm more surprised at your surprise! It's really common knowledge that there is a broad political spectrum of people in the Dem Party. That's why people call others the "fringe left" or the "far left" or "centrists" or "DLCers" or "Thrid Way". That's why you hear of independents/moderates being key to get because they could swing to either party. That's why you hear about a party's "base". Those that are solidly behind their party, that will always vote for them.
If you can't provide stats for things you claim and if you can't agree that it is a fact that not all Dems are liberal then we have nothing to discuss because I need to deal with what is real and what is really happening. Let alone the whole when does life begin theory.
