35. He became "president"
precisely because Democrats were 1)exceptionally bad at bringing those to the fore, 2)exceptionally bad at allowing Gore's and Kerry's weaknesses to be exploited by Republicans, and 3)allowing Republicans to completely set the agenda and control the language of all debate.

Until we take over the language of politics and until we learn to stop the petty squabbling that so easily divides us, we're going to continue to have trouble getting enough people to understand our viewpoints, its strengths, and the horrible weaknesses of the Republicans.

Just think of how they name the talking points of their agenda: No Child Left Behind. Clean Skies Act.

One down side to DU is that for the most part we're all preaching to the choir here, but you certainly do get to see the divisions within the Democrats also.
