I think one thing that's happening on Daily Kos this week is that, after months of holding our breath and wishing for change of any kind, some of us are remembering that we're really Greens, some that we're liberals, some that we're moderate liberals (that's me), some that we're moderates, and even some that we're conservatives who simply saw that the Bush Rovies were running the country into the ground.
I think that Democrats will do a lot better if we continue to show that we, unlike the Republicans, understand that working with friends who happen to hold different points of view is what democracy is about. We ought to minimize the number of litmus tests and maximize the amount of love and respect we beam in every possible direction.
