8. "capturing the angst" -- nice phrase. Too much hate among Dems ...
...to try and capture sentiment of those who are "left" on economics and "conservative" on social issues. As long as the Party (and posters on this site) exhibit the wholesale hostility and hatred toward millions of Americans they do not identify with, they is little chance Dems will capture much angst, let alone address the real concerns of "middle America."

By the way, to get a look at the hostility some DUers have toward their brethren on this site, see Forums: Guns, and check out some of the old threads. The "Gungeon" is the closest you'll get to seeing persistent culture war on DU.
