1. I would rather see Legislation move more to the left...
Where the Democratic Party rests its Ass on an imaginary line is irrelevant to what it can pass and get signed by the President.

2. When the party moves left, the legislation will follow
Or at least that's my hope.

5. A more leftward party may propose more lefistlation that is more left...
but that does not mean it will pass.

MOre and better Democrats is the way to go, but it is simple political reality that some proposals simply will not ever pass.

Read it, grasp it, realize the President is sending a strong pro-labor message--and act.

8. It's not about "moving to the left" for the SAKE of "moving to the left"
It's about giving up what doesn't work and switching to what DOES!

How can anybody not GET that?

9. Moving to the left, however, DOES work
Which is why I posted this to begin with.

10. Absolutely.
I was just trying to find another way to present it so it couldn't be dismissed as "ideology for ideology's sake".
