Your screed runs like a freeper rant. The fact is DLC has been poison for the Democrats. We continue to lose as our candidates tack right. Clinton was an aberration--and his win against Bush was probably made possible by Perot.

If you sit and wait for the "tied" to turn, well, you are going to be sitting for a long, long time.

After the Goldwater debacle, the right did exactly what we on the left are asking the Democrats to do. Find your core beliefs and stick up for them at all costs. Eventually the public gets the message that you actually stand for something other than elections. Then the Democratic party will reclaim it's majority status, but not until that time. We might win a few elections here and there because the Repugs screw things up so consistently. But, that isn't bringing a lot of dedicated new people to our party. Republican lite will never do that.
