Reply #4: "Can we not win as a liberal Party?" Across the nation, how do Liberal candidates generally fare? [View All]

Is the United States a country where most voters would vote for and embrace Liberal candidates? No, because I believe most Americans are in the middle. They may support liberal causes on some issues or conservative on others, but the majority are neither far left or far right.

"Must we compromise on everything?" I don't know about "everything", but the other side should be required to give up something as well. In the health care debate in the past year the Republicans were more than happy to demand and take every concession and compromise the Democrats gave them, but were unwilling to make any themselves. When they hold power they have the "my way or the highway" philosophy and when they are not in power they still hold fast to that view.
