Why phony "centrism" is bad for the Democratic party

[opebo]

jfern is, as usual, completely correct.  However, alas, liberalism is having difficulty ascending to electoral success because of :
1) hatred of gays, blacks, and women, (aka religion) and
2) irrational xenophobic nationalism (aka the 'war on terror'). 
I see no way of overcoming these two monumental stupidities in the average american drone/voter.

Some good points there, JFern.

Obviously, though, the Roe v Wade question is misguided because few people actually know what the ruling does.  Only about 15% actually support complete legalization of abortion.

Yes, but we wouldn't vote for a party that did not support complete legalization of abortion.

Speaking of phony centrism, Killary needs to drop the act.  She's not fooling anyone.

Good point.  She is in reality right-leaning.

Well, I have less and less hope for the so called 'Democratic' party.
They keep going further and further to the right.
They are becoming more and more like the Whig party, afraid to stand for anything. Can anyone name one thing the party stands for?

I couldn't agree more TC.  We now have an anti-freedom Religious Party and the party that, well, at least isn't extremely right wing or extremely religious.  It stands for nothing except that it isn't the problem. 

On the bright side, though, life is so horrifically bad for the majority of americans now, and rapidly getting worse, that one can only hope even the stupid ones will begin to understand who is doing it to them.
