Let's define priorities and let the Party and candidates come to us?

1. I like your priorities, they are rallying points

We'll never agree on everything, save wanting the GOP out of power (the Lieberman apologists excepted, perhaps). But that's as good a start as any.

I'll take a Democrat I agree with 70% of the time over any Republican. At least I know the trend line is heading in the right direction. But then, I don't have a shitload of time, like some of the young whippersnappers--life is short, and it gets shorter the older you get.

I want improvement for the next generation, NOW, while I am still on my feet and can see that we are steering the right course. If we have to do it incrementally, I can LIVE with that.

2. Rallying points might help get that sense of urgency going

The notion that this is NOT urgent is an illusion.

3. I concur

When you look at the BIG picture, the LONG view, our team agrees on far more than we disagree on.

I only wish the hyper-purists would be a bit pragmatic. I don't expect that my world view will always prevail, but if I can get a good slice of pie, I can live with that, and hope, down the road, for more!

7. A kinda "If We Build It, They Will Come" approach?

Sounds interesting.

8. Yeah and another "herd the cats" suggestion in response to

both boards groaning under the weight of all the "How are we Dems different-- let us count the ways" threads.......... which eventually squished the OP out of the picture.......

Controversy is "sexier" than constructive-ness.

9. that's kinda what I was trying to do here . . .

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=5553854&mesg_id=5553854

guess I didn't do too good a job . . . but it was late, and I was tired . . . I still think it's a good approach . . .

10. Cool-- I kicked it

I proposed boiling it down to what we all have in common regarding the state of the election process and who's really runnin the show.

12. It's a great approach.

This what came out of those old neighborhood Dem meetings. Don't know why it can't be done over the net. Ideas can float. Your primary list is great and I endorse those. Need a format for input.
