“they still don’t realize the need for one comprehensive message from the party.”

I think they realize the need for a single message, but given their constituents what would that message be? Blacks want it to be about blacks. Same for the alphabet people. Speaking of the alphabet people, each letter is a totally different constituency and even they don’t play well together. Then there are the vile ticks who hang onto the party for the blood the party lets them suck out of the rest of us; a message that resonates with them will turn off just about everybody else. Politics used to be about finding a message that attracts 51% of the voters. Now it’s about dividing the vote such that you have 51% of what’s left over. But continuing to promise the same stuff time after time and then not delivering it is finally costing the Democrats their coalition.

When the Democratic constituency was all the (horribly oppressed, of course) white and black workers the message was easy and they delivered on it time after time. But those same voters are now all evil to the new constituents; you know, the constituents who can’t stand each other and have nothing in common...those constituents.
