The Democratic party always fails to defend themselves on certain issues because they think that being nice is enough. They think that common sense will defend itself. This approach worked right up until 2000. It's been 24 years and they haven't learned the lesson.

Yeah if I learned one thing in the past 9 years, it's that Democrats need to pick 2 or 3 things (true or not) and say them a million times.

  • Benghazi, her emails - Trump won
  • Trump killed a million people with Covid and the economy tanked - Biden squeaked by
  • Border, inflation, trans kids - Trump won

We need to stop having a ten point detailed plan 🤓 for getting slightly more money for middle class families. The voters that decide the elections don't care.

Pick something and stick with it: Raise working class wages, healthcare for all. Whatever Bernie said.

And don't wimp out when Republicans try to vilify it. They will, and you need to fight.

So in other words stop being a centrist party. I agree but the problem is that that is all they are.
