Up until 2010, you would have filled in the blank with "health care" - which matched voter priorities, since voters did assign high importance to health care reform.
And the GOP messing with it, is putting the issue back in play. That's why I say "Obama in 28", to finish the job of moving the US to a low overhead, Medicare for all, system. Thank you GOP.
Historically, the majority of Democrats self-identified as moderate or conservative - it's only a recent phenomenon that liberals have been even a bare majority of the party.
Because all the southern DINOs were carved off by Reagan. Remember the "boll weevil caucus"?
