Democrats need a cohesive ideology to counter the neo-libertarianism of the Right.

We can't even decide on tools or areas of conflict. 'Thugs are vulnerable on hypocrisy, on their abandonment of the Bible they claim to exalt, on hurting the poor by feeding the rich. We need to decide who they are, and who we are. Our middle class Democrats have lost that perspective. We may not be rich, but our leaders are comfortable elites. They can't seem to tie Republicans to privilege, entitlement, wealth, abuse of power. Voters' minds are muddled by the fog of R manipulation.
