What are the three most important Democratic ideas?

[ghostsinthemachine]

The Republicans have them, guns, god and anti abortion. Yeah, free markets, lower taxes and others too, but every Republican I know it comes down to those three. They are what keeps them solidly R.

Do Dems have them? How do we bring the Rs over if those are the main ideas? Or do we forget about it?

1. Forget about them. We need a sizeable percentage of the independents.

Obama won in 2008 and 2012 with a very small percentage of Repubs voting for him.

2. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Equal rights, Equal pay for all, voting rights to name a few.

No top three, all rights are on a level playing field..top priority.

[Me.]

3. Equal Rights

Across the board, equity, pay, voting, women's right, LGBTQ rights...rights, rights, rights

[Atticus]

4. "liberte, egalite, fraternite". NT

[Freddie]

5. Universal healthcare (by whatever means). Equal rights. No one who works FT should live in poverty.

[BigmanPigman]

6. I think you should have put "lower taxes" as the first Republican ideal.

They live and breath this greedy mantra.

7. Health, education and ...

a decent job with decent pay.

[Weekend Warrior]

8. Economic and social equality. We have been beating the drums.

We don't need R's like some think we do.

9. For me

Ending corporate PERSONHOOD is number one. Unless that changes, NOTHING CHANGES. That would invalidate Citizen's United and create some fairness in election financing. Also everything on everyone's list would not be possible unless this happens first.

Energy. Change the subsidy paradigm to rooftop solar instead of grid based systems. Subsidize electric automakers.

Healthcare. Socialized. 100% free, like Canada. Now our system punishes you if you have a job. If you are poor, you have healthcare. If you work you pay. And if you make diddly squat you are screwed. Why would anyone, with a couple of kids work when the healthcare costs would be astronomical. Add in a pre existing condition and you've got a real problem.
