The party platform voted on in state caucuses is far more representative of the views of the base and yet the ‘pros’ do a lousy job of representing the platform.

Maybe we need extreme left liberals getting more media exposure. I’m thinking about talking heads further to the left from Rachel Maddow, Ed Schultz, Thom Hartmann and their ilk.
