since Bernie's success in his national campaign for president, the democrats' message has moved quickly towards democratic socialism: free healthcare, free college, $15 minimum wage, anti-capitalism, equality of outcomes, and income equality.
As a live long democrat, I recently attended a democratic fund raiser in Dallas and gotta say, I was NOT impressed. If the party cannot communicate a clear vision of what they stand for and what they aim to accomplish, they have no business running a campaign. All that I heard was back slapping and self promotion. And if I, as someone who has never voted for a Republican in over 40 years cannot hear a cohesive message, they are in serious trouble. I would probably vote for John Kasich if he ran again, in the absence of a democrat who can communicate a clear vision. Very discouraging.
Their platform is: If Americans won't vote for us, we'll import people that do!
Exactly....
All the normal, rational, common sense, and law-abiding voters have dropped out of the democrat party, and the Ds are now desperate for new future voters. Remember this last election they honored the father of a terrorist, ISIS endorsed them, the American Communist Party endorsed them, BLM endorsed them, the San Bernadino terrorists were registered democrat donors, and the violent racist New Black Panther Party endorsed them.
oh......and don't forget Rosie O'Donnell endorsed them - LOL

I'm 66 and was a lifelong democrat until it became the party of STUPID.
When was the last time you heard anything intelligent coming from that party?
Most of us have switched to Independent as a show of protest with BOTH parties.
Independents are now the largest voting group.
Let's see:
We did not take away your health insurance and price you out of the market,
We did not cut your Welfare, Food Stamps, Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security,
We did not weaken our entire group Intelligence Agencies by attacking them all,
We did not remove regulations keeping big business from making your favorite creek/river into a toxic waste dump,
We did not alienate most of our trading and military allies and make the rest of the world hate us even more,
We did not give tax permanent tax breaks to the rich/big business and bribe you with a handful of silver to look away,
We did not allow oil companies to drill in nature reserves leading to the further decline in our heritage,
We did not support a budget that will not only drive more National Debt which you will have to eventually pay for all to give the elites more money,
We did not promise companies were going to move jobs back to the US and didn't,
We are not trying to control peoples personal lives, when it comes a woman's choice when it comes to her body,
We did not go after States that said we need to stop putting people in prison for smoking a weed,
We are not the GOP or Trump.........
I am sure they can make plenty more claims and get many to listen to them, do not think people will not listen, being too smug in ones position can and often does come back to bite you in the arse.
Somehow, I'm not sure that you're entirely clear on the definition of the word "platform".
Do the democrats have any platform yet, other than "at least we're not Trump"?
Democrats do seem lost.
Since Trump's election, the right to pee in the bathroom of your choice has morphed into the right to pee in your pants daily.
