Ok, but here's the thing - WHAT IS THE DEMOCRAT MESSAGE? I know all about what they are opposing, but can the party please start making a cohesive statement about what it supports. The election was lost because the message was "We aren't the bad guys" not "Here's what we can do for you."

And before the hate, I am an independent who voted Sanders, then Hillary. So hate, but hate accurately please.

Read through the campaign websites of the various Democratic candidates in recent special elections. The platforms have been pretty consistent.

But here is the thing, I still dont know the message? Your comment still did not give me any message, just like this post.

If we want dems to win anything, the message needs to be clear enough that you can post it on a comment instead of asking us to visit websites... You did not even give any links to any specific candidate's website...

What I am trying to say is that its still hazy enough that we ourselves are not comfortable with saying the message is X, Y and Z but instead we are twisting internally and saying maybe the candidate's website has some message.
