Election day shows that the Democratic Party should make sure voters know how it's helping them

Haven't we seen this horror movie before?

The Democratic Party's problem in recent decades has been that instead of showing American voters how much it's doing for them, it runs away from its program like it's fleeing the scene of the crime.

The last time that happened, the achievement was the Affordable Care Act, which was destined to bring health coverage to 20 million middle- and working-class Americans for the first time and to eradicate the inequities that crushed many more with medical bills.

Instead of shouting the ACA's virtues from the rooftops, the Democrats let Republicans define the bill as a "disaster" and ridicule it as "Obamacare."
