Reply #3: what the Party still doesn't understand is ...

[welshTerrier2]

that they need to include "little people" in the Party's internal dialog ... so far, they're just meeting among themselves ...

people are generally more willing to compromise when they believe they've been heard ... shut them out, and positions become more entrenched ...

Party leaders, especially Dean, need to address this by giving more voice to every Democrat ... job one right now is not figuring out how many drops of conservative seasoning versus how many drops of liberal seasoning will win the most votes ... job one is getting more Democrats involved in steering the big ship ... if we don't make the Party more democratic, the rifts we all see are going to do some real damage ...

we're running out of time and i don't think any of the elite Democrats understand this ...
