Dear Dems: Don't fall into the trap of pitting centrists against the left. What is needed now is unity, leadership and a simple, core message that not only unites the party but draws others to it. Be the party that is for the people, combatting inequality, creating opportunity.
The issue in America is that despite our wealth, the majority of us feel economic insecurity and that the system is rigged against us and for the rich. Find a few core ideas that address this and that send a message that our diversity is the wellspring of our strength.
Just a few big, clear ideas: No one should be homeless, no one should fear dying destitute, decent health care should be a right, kids who study hard should be able to afford college, we should invest in our future, we should protect our environment, we should fight corruption.
We should protect the weak & care for the sick & celebrate our diversity & seek justice wherever we can and preserve the peace & leave the world a better place for our children than we found it & that we are committed to fighting for those values, always & against the odds.
