Give all of us disaffected, disgruntled Dems, Greens, non-voters something to vote FOR. Co-opt a couple of the Green party's planks for the Dem platform. Compromise you know. If the Dems come out in support of universal health care, a living wage, same sex marriage, etc., most of us out here on the "fringe" are pragmatic enough to vote for our self interests. However if all the Dems are going to do is ignore except when they want to scare us into line or bully us into line, most will go Green, Nader, or home.

It's all about compromise friend, giving everybody something to vote for. The Dems should try it, its amazing how well it would work.
