Best way to introduce intra-Democratic discussion issues

I am an unabashed progressive, and I would like tips on how to improve Democratic Party discussions to include promoting the ideas of one Democrat over those of another. I am fully aware that "attacks" on sitting Democrats are not allowed in the forum, and am very aware that Republicans would like nothing better than to highlight those differences to denigrate BOTH Democrats. Sometimes, when we have ideals that need to be met, we select our candidates and representation based upon those ideals, and in the pursuit of those ideals we unwittingly ruffle the wrong feathers.

I'm relatively new here, but I did want to remain in everyone's good graces while putting out my opinions. So rather than argue specifically my ideals, which may not be OTHER Democrat's ideals (for instance, I want to progress to a globally-enforced progressive society that transcends borders, enforces race and ethnic equalization, environmental protectionism, etc.), what would be the best way to respectfully disagree with someone who is a Democrat?

Probably the best way would be to refer me to threads with such discussions. Thanks to all for making my experience here among friends a wonderful experience. I appreciate any other recommendations as well.

EDIT: I forgot that I had ad-blocking. Until I can afford to pay for a membership here, I will unblock all ads for Democratic Underground, and recommend others do the same.
