4. I prefer a name that includes "Democratic Party"

You write that some names "carry with them, negative connotations for some people." Precisely. I want a name that carries negative connotations for the unrepentant Naderites, Green Party operatives, and any other minor-party enthusiasts. In fact, I think the SoP might usefully be amended to make that limitation more explicit. It's up to the admins how much free rein to give to DUers wishing to disparage the strategy of working within the Democratic Party, but whatever the general rule is, such posts should be excluded from this group.
