Over the past few months a great deal of time has been spent thinking about, analyzing and discussing the election and why we lost and they won. Two of the dominant themes of these discussions have been values and framing. As we know, Karl Rove and the Republicans succeeded in framing their candidate as a strong, unwavering leader in uncertain times, while framing Kerry as a flip flopper without a moral compass, willing to do or say anything to get elected.
As we move forward, everyone is asking essentially the same two questions: what do we as Democrats stand for? And how do we talk about it in simple, compelling, value-laden terms? There has already been some great writing and thinking done on this issue, and for good reason. To come from a position of strength we must present a positive alternative that lets Americans who didn't vote Democrat see that they are more like us than they thought they were.
