I don't know why democrats don't have more confidence in their message. I can understand why democrats have felt pressure to concede to republican frames in the past. Working within those frames to get their message across may have been the only choice at one time; but not now... not now that republicans have proven themselves corrupt and incompetent... not now that republicans are scrambling to redefine their party. This is the perfect opportunity for democrats to stand firm in their beliefs and show us the clear path they offer in contrast with the disastrous one we've been on.
