In my
diary entry yesterday, I talked about the fact that everyone says we Democrats need a movement to help us regain power in America, but few people will say what that movement should
be...
The Republicans have their
conservative movement, but we seem to be a little bit hesitant to stand up and proudly name our beliefs. I believe that we can't have our an effective political movement until we can say who we are and what we're for.
Are we liberals, and do we need a liberal movement? Are we progressives, needing a progressive movement? Are we an amalgam of the two? Or something else entirely? Is our movement in fact defined by our position in the political spectrum, the way the conservative movement is--or do we have some more specific political goal that transcends liberal and conservative?
The discussion thread that followed my post contained a number of good suggestions. I picked the ones that sounded good with "movement" after them, and put them into the poll below. What do you think?
