Stealing thunder.

14. This DEMOCRATIC website includes some Naderites, Greens, etc.

Direct advocacy of a non-Democrat running in a general election against a Democrat is, as I understand it, prohibited. Other than that the admins have given the third-party boosters a fair amount of slack.

It makes sense to use the "safe haven" rule -- specifically, to have a group that's a safe haven from the view that the Democratic Party is hopelessly corrupt, that reforming it is impossible, and that progressives should undertake other actions (third-party politics, street demonstrations, whatever). It also makes sense that such a group would have the phrase "Democratic Party" in its title, to warn DUers that posts about giving up on the Democratic Party are off-topic for this group.

I prefer the current name to your proposal of "The Citizens Reform Caucus" because the latter would, to many people, suggest a much broader scope than the former.
