re: #425 Obdicut

But yes, the Democrats remain wimps with a large conservative chunk who are basically going to act like Republicans because they’re afraid of not getting re-elected.

But that means that the Democratic base is – at least partially – at fault, no? Politicians should always “be afraid” of not getting re-elected. If they fear not getting re-elected for the wrong reasons, does that not mean that their constituents are not supplying them well enough with the right reasons?
