(45,319 posts)being what you deem 'the easy part for Democrats to hold'? I can show you DU threads from '08 in which most Democrats were favorable to civil unions only, equality was impossible, not Biblical, unthinkable and that was on DU.
Is reproductive choice really 'easy' for them to hold to now? It's no longer a 'wedge' or 'hot button'? How did that happen?
Those things did not happen by magic. They were the results of years of political and cultural effort of organizing and of persuasion.
In this Party we have many thousands of people who knew how to do that and got it done. We could do the same for other issues, or others who observe the progress might educate themselves and learn how to make 'hot button wedge third rail issues' into something super easy to support.
