"What is The Left willing to give up on?"

[Masark]

Lefties can be Christian too.
Look at the pope, he's a communist according to Alex Jones. And hypocrite.

A significant percentage of Americans don't consider Catholics to be Christian.

Normally I post articles for discussion, but today I'm going to do something different: I'm just going to ask a question and see what comes back

The question is:

"What is The Left willing to give up, to compromise on, to change about its internal culture and beliefs?"

By that I mean, what are the negotiable beliefs that can be compromised on to bring the left back towards the middle where democracies will be more willing to trust and vote for Democrats/etc?

Some possible themes and areas:

- Abortion
- Reproductive rights
- Gay marriage
- Gender theory
- Political correctness
- Social welfare
- Cross-sectional feminism
- Climate change
- Obamacare
- Positive discrimination
- Capitalism vs socialism
- Censorship
- etc

A simple statement like "I think Democrats should give up on this area"

Lol, what an "objective" query. The left is moving the country forward - all the issues above help the country/world. The right is dragging everyone down - including those that don't know they are being dragged and support the right's "common man" theme.

Who says I'm either conservative or right wing? You don't know me and you certainly don't know my political views.

Hmm I guess I need to link to you the definition of a question then.....

But fine let's say, for argument's sake I believe for one second you're not conservative, did you ever levy this same argument at the party of the Moral Majority, yes or no?

Nice cop-out, but I'm not buying it. It was obvious you were making a foolish assumption.

But fine let's say, for argument's sake I believe for one second you're not conservative, did you ever levy this same argument at the party of the Moral Majority, yes or no?

Which party would that be?

That aside, yes, I've used that same argument on many, including both religious types and atheists (myself being an atheist.)

The Republicans control both houses, the presidency, and 33 governorships. The dems are not even close to winning, and they do need to change strategy.

Reading the posts on this forum, and listening to Nancy Pelosi speak on it, they don't believe any loss has occurred.
