My ideal Democratic Party would have exactly the platform you outline here. I am for a liberal Party. We need, however, to reach out to those sitting on the fence and explain to them why we believe our ideas are better. I believe that many of them will join us. We need to make the LEFT bigger, by persuading more voters to move in that direction.

The infighting is not "mindless". Not at all. It is vital. If centrist Dems want to add more troops (Hillary) or maintain the status quo, F**K THEM. Those are not winnable ideas and will be the death knell for the Dem party.

I should have been clearer. I am for civil disagreement inside the party. I do not, however, condone the too common practice of calling anyone who disagrees with you a Freeper.
