STRONGER TOGETHER! But how much did you here about that in the media? Stronger together...sticking together for all Americans, making it work for all Americans. Yes we had an economic message about taxes and jobs. It was the same message carried forward from the Obama administration and it included getting Wall Street to "put some skin in the game." Obama asked for it and Hillary was busy trying to get that to work for all of us. But:'DRAIN THE SWAMP' "ESTABLISHMENT DEMS" LOCK HER UP all this drowned out the message. As HRC was trying to get Corporate America to buy into and make us "Stronger Together" she was trashed from the right and the left.
Now the "SWAMP" is in total control. They now run our government and there is a cesspool in the WH. WE allowed our message to be drowned out and we are still doing that. We ridicule "A Better Deal" and refuse to listen to what the deal is and what our Des leaders are saying. Instead we are just focused on "Single-Payer" with nothing else attached. We are the ones pushing that and blocking out our other message about jobs creation and raising taxes on the 1% and lowering taxes on middle and low income workers. We have totally stopped talking about childcare, eldercare, job training and retraining. Trump talks about bringing jobs back. That sounds good, but who is out there informing the workers that bringing jobs back for robots is not creating jobs that they will be able to work in without getting the training they need. We need to re-focus education on preparing workers for jobs now and jobs of the future. And that does not have to mean a 4-year college degree in Liberal Art. We need good mechanics, excellent carpenters who can use modern tools of the trade etc. We are not even talking about that.
JoeScar is still talking down the Democrats in a way that is not constructive but crushing. He has been doing it for year with willing partners. When John Ridgley tried to make the point about the increasing incomes now were based on economic policies and the foundation that Obama built he was all but ignored.
As long as our spokespeople keep bemoaning the party and keep saying we have no message instead of giving the message things won't change. We will accept Trump's message of hate, racism, division and warmongering as the swamp overtakes us all. I have yet to hear anyone step us and say "Yes We Can" and we are "Stronger Together." No country can beat us and no country can match us if we stick TOGETHER and make it work for EVERYONE and stop the division which is leading to decay.
Furthermore, I object to trashing the notion that different groups of people should not be identified and embraced by the party. And using the message of "stronger tougher" coupled with "a better deal" and spoken of consistently is a MESSAGE.
