Democrats, after analyzing their miserable 2016 showing, found voters didnt know where the party stood on key economic issues. Starting now, they want to build an economic identity so that their candidates can run next year on something more than just opposition to President Trump.
The pressure point, however, is crafting an agenda that balances the needs of energizing anti-Trump liberal activists without driving away centrist voters and Republicans disillusioned with the president and the lack of results coming from the GOP-led Congress.
Without winning a significant bloc of Republican voters in next years Senate races, Democrats will fall deeper into the minority and find it difficult to win back the majority in 2020.

They are - at best - a regional/urban party with no soul that hates America.
Veteran Care; Border Wall; Immigration; Lower Welfare bums; no free food stamps; no free housing; Get a job to enforce the economy; get along with Foreign Countries instead of starting wars with them; and a good Health Care Bill that doesn't take all the Citizens money...
Well Dems, look like the only things you can run on is: Founders of the KKK; Open borders; Free College; Free Abortions; Free Sex; did I forget anything???
When? Not that it matters.... nobody wants you POS socialism, demonic scum.
No they don't. Oh that might toss out the occasional slogan like "Better Deal" or something. But it is going to be anti-Trump 24/7 as soon as the campaign season ramps up. It's all they've got, what else can they run on? Bathrooms for Trannies? Black Lives Matter? Open Borders?
What is their platform? Trannies in the military? More refugees? Open borders? More socialized medicine? Taking guns away from police? More riots from BLM and SJW groups?
I’m sure the moronic 20-something millennials will eat it up, but what about hte people who actually work and pay taxes and want a safe neighborhood?
Not to worry!
Democrats have better ingredients, better quality, better wool to cover the eyes of America. In fact, they even have better Comet pizza!
>>>What is their platform? Trannies in the military? More refugees? Open borders? More socialized medicine? Taking guns away from police?<<<
It can be condensed into a simple slogan!
Better Trannies, better refugees, better globalism, better socialized medicine, better gun control!
The Democratic Party was founded in 1828. Here we are in 2017 with only 11 years to go before we get to witness a 200 year Dem Birthday Party.
We are also about 15 months from an important election that the Dem Party is expected to participate in.
OK. So what’s the big deal?
Here’s what - In the second sentence of the article I read THIS:
++
“Starting now, they want to build an economic identity so that their candidates can run next year on something more than just opposition to President Trump.”
++
Hello Dems. Is anybody home? You’ve had 189 years to define an economic identity and you’re still working on it? That hard to believe.
In fact it’s a lie. The truth is you already have one. It was well documented by Marx and Engels and tested many time in many countries over the years. North Korea is one of those countries. Why not model your “new” economic identity after NK.
What we will get instead is Trump-Lite for the poor, the Gay, the Tranys, the illegal but still voting in big numbers illegal aliens, and all the rest of the usual Dem Suspects.
My prediction: It won’t sell.
Here's a guess...
EXACTLY!!! ROFL...
Just from the tone of that you can tell that the Washington Post thinks it’s job is to return Democrats to the majority and keep them there forever.
Just remind everyone that NO Democrat has said ANYTHING concerning all this ‘antifa’ thing.
I wonder what Diamond and Silk have loaded on their plate, just waiting to serve it to America, when the ‘D’s’ start.
They might “look to” but they can “look” all they want because they don’t have anything else except The “BITTER” deal.
The Democrats are not in a box. They need to go with their roots, go with what they instinctively know - go LEFT! HARD LEFT! Make Karl Marx proud. With a hard left message they will finally win the voters they know they’re entitled to. They just have to have the courage to do what they know will put them over the top.
It’s not like they are going to fool anybody if they were to suddenly start talking about American values. And if they did they are likely to turn off their sick, racist base. That would result in an even bigger routing than they’ve ever experienced.
And I say GO FOR IT!!!
if the Democrat party really wants to show what they stand for, the head of the party needs to hold up the book, Rules for Radicals and to declare that book as their party guide. Anything short of that is, as we all know, just more lies.
Their only hope is to lie about what they believe and con voters.
Hahaha. :D
Global communism, Radical Islamic Terrorism, Money Laundrying, Obamacare, Benghazi, Gun Running, Tax Increases, Russian Collusion, Murder, Lying, Global Warming, Deep State Resistance, Pink Pussy Hats, Fascism, Racism, White Guilt, Political Correctness, Illegal Immigration, Obstructionism, Anti-American Citizens and Anti-Trump.
The better deal, eh?
Jobs. Outsourcing. Immigration. Taxation. All they have to do is to beat Trump on every issue he beat them on in ‘16 and continues to do so. Good luck with that, guys.
