Let’s face it. In the 2004 general elections our Democratic Party crashed. The country, hounded by wedge issues and petty politics, chose the other side. Why did this happen? The answer is simple. Our party is a group of factions that attempt to come together every election year to send a message, often uncertain and contradictory, to the public. The problem is not our factions; it is our lack of acknowledgement to these factions. Awkwardly, every two years we attempt to bring these factions together and show our unity. However lately these factions of labor unions, teachers unions, progressive activists, minority caucuses, and the highly educated professional class have failed to unite and form one party. We fail to understand each other’s values and, in turn, cannot convey our message to the public. We need a chairman of the Democratic Party that can shift away from these tendencies and provide our party and the public an honest message.
