Reply #40: If principles are deserted, then what? [View All]

We've already tried to be republican lite. As someone who has voted for Dems all my life, I considered myself to middle of the road politically, and bought the argument about moving to the middle to win.
No more.
It does not work! What we have to do is convince Americans that our PRINCIPLES are in their best interest.
I will NEVER abandon my beliefs, which are hardly radical. They are only framed as being such by republicans and the MSM.

*women's rights
*reproductive rights
*patients' rights
*civil rights
*freedom of speech
*stewardship of the environment
*seeking alternate energy sources
*ETHICAL business practices
*social justice
*responsible foreign policy
*fair labor practices

I am sure I'm leaving something out. Simply put, if Dems abandon any of these, they will lose my support. The alternative? Moving to a democracy where these principles do get a fair shake.
