Would it really be that terrible to make our 2020 message something like THIS:

28. You wouldn't...but some would.

It's my belief that PART of the opposition to making economic justice a stronger part of our program is being orchestrated by the corporate wing of the party, and that people from that wing are stirring up fears that changing the message would have to mean the abandonment of historically oppressed communities. The corporate wing is trading on this because they see spreading such fears as a way of making sure nothing anti-corporate gets incorporated in to the party program at the next election, and, if possible, of moving the party further RIGHT on economic issues between now and 2020.

Again, that isn't aimed at you, but that has to be part of the reason why any mention of the "e word" somehow gets characterized as a call for the party to throw various components of the party base "under the bus".
