You might have a good point. It seems to me that the actual platform of the DNC is a rickety construction because of the theoretical goals of the different parts of the Democratic party. Femiminism, Identity politics, marxism, democratic socialism, and labor unionism are all there in their base.
So, I suppose you are correct to say that they lack a coherent message, because they have about *five* coherent messages going at once. All of which are contradicatory. That could explain why the Kerry message and slogans keep changing. They have to.
The problem for them is that Conservatives don't have this problem. A libertarian and a complete RINO probably believe mostly the same things, but they believe them at totally different levels of intensity. Same ideas, different volume level. That might be why Bush can stay on message so effectively, and Kerry has to waffle.
It's a thought.
There's no might about it threep.
As a man of clarity and coherence, Kerry is an ever changing pretzel.
