Topic: Coalition for a Democratic Majority

	Democratic Party (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Democratic Party, in its platform in 2000 and 2004, called for abortion to be "safe, legal and rare"—namely, keeping it legal by rejecting laws that allow governmental interference in abortion decisions, and reducing the number of abortions by promoting both knowledge of reproduction and contraception, and incentives for adoption.
		The Democrats were split over entering Iraq in 2003 and increasingly expressed concerns about both the justification and progress of the War on Terrorism and the domestic effects, including threats to civil rights and civil liberties, from the USA PATRIOT Act.
		Civil libertarians also often support the Democratic Party because its positions on such issues as civil rights and separation of church and state are more closely aligned to their own than the positions of the Republican Party, and because the Democrats' economic agenda may be more appealing to them than that of the Libertarian Party.

	Miroff, The Democratic Debate, 2/e
		A major finding of congressional scholars was that the pursuit of reelection continually shaped the relationship between representatives and their constituents.
		The majority Democrats held to the liberal ideology of government activism.
		Yet it fell far short of popular democratic reform: It was based on only a fifth of the eligible electorate, tried to steamroll the opposition rather than engage in real debate, and used populist anger to further the interests of economic elites.

		Ask just about any learned Democrat to cite the big issues this election year, and he or she is bound to rattle off a list: The war, the economy, the environment, health care, welfare, taxes on the poor, inner cities, public education, higher education, civil rights, apathy, drug use -- and the list goes on.
		Now comes the New Democrat Network, another group of centrists that is launching an agenda that combines the traditional Democratic views about health care and the environment with a mission to win the war on terrorism and create wealth in America.
		Beyond espousing its beliefs, the NDN also is cultivating a new crop of moderate Democrats by identifying 20 to 30 elected Democrats under the age of 45 to become the next leaders in the party.

	Missing Link: How Right-Wing Neo-Cons Created 'Democratic Leadership Council'
		Democrats may be still suffering under the delusion that the Democratic Leadership Council—which brags that the "top four" Democratic Presidential candidates are "Blair Democrats" who supported the Iraq War—is something other than a right-wing Trojan Horse and protection racket for Vice President Dick Cheney, as Democratic Presidential pre-candidate Lyndon LaRouche has exposed.
		In 1999, Norman Podhoretz, known as the "father" of neo-conservatism, wrote that the CDM was created to destroy the policies of 1972 Democratic Presidential nominee George McGovern in the Democratic Party, especially because of McGovern's opposition to the Vietnam War.

	The Emerging Democratic Majority
		The “base” of the Republican coalition is a lot more homogeneous then the Democrats’ – both demographically and ideologically – and there is a lot of overlap between the beliefs and agendas of the various groups that comprise it.
		This makes the message Democratic politicians convey seem more complex, muddled and contradictory then the Republicans (and it also makes the democratic primaries constant exercises in fratricide, as candidates struggle to create coalitions of the often feuding democratic constituencies).
		Years ago the Democratic platform and the party “machine” helped to unify the Dems and clarify and focus their message.

	"Party Hardy" by Kenneth S. Baer
		While the root of their argument is not entirely novel--it's been a staple of New Democratic thinking since the mid-1990s--Judis and Teixeira move the discussion forward as much through the new data, fresh arguments, and useful critiques of both sides as by the fact that it is they who are providing them.
		Nevertheless, the endurance of this debate highlights the fragility of the Democratic coalition that Judis and Teixeira envision.
		Despite the continued dominance of the institutional party by Old Democrats far to the left of the general electorate and a noticeable resurgence of old perceptions of the party (weak on defense, soft on crime, untrustworthy on taxes), the party is at parity with the GOP.

	Majority Rule
		Once a winning coalition has been achieved, the parties are largely free to ignore the interests of other participants.
		Even with super-majorities, however, the tendency of majority rule processes is to divide society into two competing coalitions (often referred to as the right and left, or liberals and conservatives).
		One key to controlling what is sometimes called the "tyranny of the majority" are norms and rules which prevent the majority from disregarding the basic rights of the minority.
