As Democrats and Progressives look forward from yesterday’s mid-term elections, we must pursue a new populist platform in the spirit of the great populists Andrew Jackson and Teddy Roosevelt. We must recapture our historical role as the advocate for the person who works for an hourly wage. We must win the hearts and minds of those who make up the "tea party" movement, convincing them that their corporate puppet masters are not working in their interests. Most of all, we must use all our powers of persuasion to convince the "broad center" of the American electorate that it makes sense for them to align with the Democratic Party.

One of the more distasteful and unattractive traits of the "religious right" is their militant self-righteousness. They are certain in their judgment of right and wrong, and quick to demonstrate their moral superiority on a wide range of issues. Yet in progressive writings, including diaries and comments on Daily Kos, I see more and more of the same attitudes and language used by the religious right.

This militant self-righteousness most often appears in our tendency to judge an entire program/organization/person based on what are frequently minor flaws or transgressions against some "progressive" litmus test. We fail to recognize and tout the good things done or said, and write off the entire enterprise as unworthy. As a result, we alienate potential allies, and throw the baby out with the bath water in our criticisms.

When John McCain challenged Barack Obama's campaign strategy of running against George W. Bush, I believe that Obama missed a golden opportunity to end this race decisively.
