I think this is a horse that cannot be saddled.  We are in for a bumpy ride in trying to hold together the left.  And the fighting Dems being pushed so hard at the orange place isn't helping.  

What we need is straight-talk and a commitment to core principles, and what is being pushed by both Schumer and Kos is ideologically-free mayonaisse sandwich on white bread.

The only way I can see forward is to unite with disgruntled libertarians and centrists in our opposition to corruption, lies, and the abuse of the armed forces and intelligence agencies, while simultaneously struggling for ideologically progressive unity within the party.  Candidates like Casey are making life a living hell for those of us that want to win in November.

  Why does it seem to be such a bad idea when I suggest those concepts?

However if I listed it all here . . .

BooMan, I agree with you on tactics and strategy, but I'd say every one of us here agrees with Chris' "List".  So to you, Chris, Matt, Jerome, and any other owner:  list it all here.  The next time you guys hit the bar for DrinkingLiberally, write it down.  Trust me on this, you'll have no problem editing - your combined audiences will take care of that for you.

If the progressive audience can design a survey, we can sure as hell design a "Statement of Principles".

We have identified the problem with the pretty horse before he has managed to enter the gate.

You forgot Bowers, but I just added him in.

You cut straight to the heart of the matter.

I posted about this below, but here's what it boils down to:  

First, we have candidates who can't win shoved down our throats...or candidates who, if they do win, will vote like a Republican on most issues.

Second, those candidates either lose (and then it's the fault of progressive voters who refused to support these Republican wannabes, or didn't support them with wild-eyed enthusiasm) or else they win and go on to Washington and act like the Republican they just replaced.

Third...repeat for next election.  And then it's the fault of progressives because the Democrats don't have a majority.

Yeah, right.
