They don't seem to realize that "going right" will doom the democratic party. No one anywhere who votes conservative is going to choose a "lesser" right when they have the full strength right party at home.
The democrats fail for one reason. They learn the wrong lesson every time they lose. They think "Alright, what did the republicans do? Let's copy that!" And they copy the party policy! Except, then they're just copycats, and in a two party system, the copycat will always lose. Every single time they have tried to "go right" to win, they have lost. They lose the interest of the left, and they don't gain nearly enough right voting people to make up the difference, so they lose.
But, that seems to be what they plan on doing. The democratic party is about to shift over the line to where the republicans were in 1999.
At this point I'm afraid it's probably in the best interest for the Democratic party to hang back and let it get worse.
According to historians, the biggest mistake to make in a resistance is unforced compliance.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
