'What's a Democrat?' Dems struggling to explain core values

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democrats are struggling to answer a simple question -- "What's a Democrat?" -- and must do a better job of explaining its core values to voters, according to a task force formed after the party's dismal showing in the 2014 election.

**SNIP**

It calls for more financial support and training for state parties in a return to the principles behind the "50-state strategy" promoted by former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, who led the DNC from 2005 to 2009. That approach aimed to compete in state and local elections throughout the country, even in states dominated by Republicans.

The final recommendation focuses on voting rights. It supports a constitutional amendment to enshrine the right to vote and attempts in Congress to restore portions of the Voting Rights Act. The Supreme Court in 2013 removed from federal law an effective tool for fighting voting discrimination under the act and Democrats have tried to restore those protections.

The initial findings were based on hundreds of meetings with party leaders and members of Congress and included a survey completed by 10,000 Democratic activists, Wasserman Schultz said. A final report will come out in May.

Core value - find a way to hoodwink more voters.

The ‘RATS’ “core values” are easy to understand. DESTROY America, Americans AND EVERYTHING THAT IS AMERICAN.

Core values? Values are positive traits.

I can see where that would be a challenge.

There are two main core values of the Democrats. They hate America and they hate Jesus. The rest of their filthy philosophy derives from those two hates.

Easy answer. A democrat is a totalitarian leftist in denial.

Anyone willing to suspend attention to reality to pursue a socialist agenda.

Locally, Democrats are loudmouths with a chip on their shoulder and a taste for manipulating whatever they can in the pursuit of whatever they consider "fairness."

Not much different than Lucifer whining about how how he ought to be co-equal to God and then resentfully raging in perpetuity when it doesn't (and can't) happen.

Free stuff for the masses until the wealth built up by the capitalists is depleted. Then the Government takes control of what remains and manages it accordingly. Then the disbanding of all opposition parties, five year plans, etc. What a novel idea. /s

The one true core value for Democrats is Power. It’s what they crave, it’s what they need, and it what’s they believe they deserve. The rest of all the issues listed by others here are means to an end because each issue has an identified voting block. The reason they struggle against the US and it’s ideals from the founding is that those ideals block their power. To control America, first they must destroy it.

Feminists, pedophiles, illegals, cross-dressers, and gas.

Overlap is considered a plus.
