  •  Populist economic issues (none / 0)

    I agree with Thomas Frank that this is where the Democrats can renew themselves. And there has to be a consistent and sincere approach to this. Not half-measures like they tried in 2002. Attach these progressive economic steps to big ideas, not just a few little issues that poll well.
    •  I do wonder about this (none / 0)

      I'd support the economic justice things as much as the cultural concerns, but I worry that anything that can be painted as "they want to spend your money" might be a loser unless it clearly benefits the middle class.

      Now, cultural stuff, hey, it's what tehy use on us, so why not?  Any place they have an anti-affirmative action initiative, I want an anti-legacy proposal.
