Thanks for the read and the words, Kerry! I agree with a lot of that, for sure. Especially Dems abandoning the local level--they've done it in rural America too. If they wanted to win, they should be organizing there.

As for getting votes, I disagree. There's A LOT of overlap with voters on letting Medicare negotiate drug prices, doing something about monopolies, holding CEOs accountable, closing tax loopholes, marijuana, union legislation, and even medicare for all. Biden could do a lot of that on his own. And the whole party could be messaging in those areas and fighting for something, showing voters they're actually in their corner. Forty million americans stuggle with student debt, i think a good portion would show up to vote if he helped them out, which he can do on his own.

It is a massive misconception in the party where they think to get voters they have to compromise and pretend to be Republicans. Nothing could be further from the truth. Republicans have a horrible platform. They just hide it behind right-wing identity politics.

If Dems want voters, they gotta fight for regular, working people. But they won't because they're the party of the educated managerial class these days.
