Many commenters are calling for a change in or a replacement for the Democratic Party. Isn't partisanship one of our problems? You're either conservative or liberal, right or left. And then there are degrees of conservative and liberal or right and left.
Maybe we should have people without labels who run for office. Taking advice from George Washington and Martin Luther King, Jr., we should avoid factions and judge candidates on the content of their character. We need candidates who consider the common good above special interests. And we definitely need candidates who can change their minds with new information.
