Reply #15: The tent isn't too big

[MindMatter]

The admission criteria are a bit to vague,

it is called leadership, and there has been almost none of it in the party for 30 years.

Define what it means to be a Democrat and ask people to make the necessary sacrifices to accomplish what's right for America. Do that and there will be plenty of people to fill that tent -- WITH A PURPOSE.

This is what Obama is doing. 70% of Americans agree with progressive policies across the board, even if they don't know that's what they are. Leadership gets people to really commit to what they are already feeling in their guts.

Not a closed tent, but also not open to people who don't really believe in the core progressive principles either.

When the tent allows the DLC types in, all that does is tell the outsiders that there are no principles inside, so why should they join with us?
