Did you actually write:

<The party doesn't need to move more to the left--all they need to do is stay to the left of the other team>

Have you been watching the news at all. Why do you think people are taking to the streets....because they are happy with the Obama presidency??? They are there because they finally gave up on Obama. They kept waiting and waiting and waiting for him to fulfill his campaign promises. It became clear that he was no more sincere than any other politician...despite his rhetoric.

Can you see how the country has moved to the Right over the past 30 years? Can you see that even Democrats are more conservative then they have ever been in the past (as a whole). I was once just considered a Democrat...now my "Democratic" views are considered "left wing" or even radical. So, for you to say that we need to stay just to the left of the other party simply means that as they continue to move further and further to the Right, we're simply going to follow them until the true definition of being a Democrat is all but forgotten. Is this beyond your understanding?

This is why I have a really had time with the so-called "New" Dems.
