Reply #29: Welcome to DU, AmericanLiberal....

I'm relatively new to DU myself, and I applaud your post. I started a similar thread yesterday asking how the Democratic Party could reach a new generation of Gen Y and Gen X voters. I think we need a whole new language and, as you do, emphasis on new and different issues. Another poster went further and said that we need a very broad and simple theme that will appeal to a majority of Americans, adding that coming up with these things is not easy, especially, I think, in a party of individualists like ourselves.
