Why doesn't our side know how to frame a debate?

21. We should be framing the debate now.

As for me, personally, I have donated thousands of dollars, personally, to Democratic causes. I serve as the chair of the Democratic party in my community, I have worked on dozens of Democratic campaigns, going back as far as George McGovern. I serve on Union PACs.

I have put time and money where my mouth is for a generation. We have been very successful, both in union messaging and Democratic messaging at the state level in Massachusetts. We have increased our minimum wage, beat back a heavily financed ballot question to advance charter schools, improved the work environment for nurses and passed the first mandatory sick leave in America, all through ballot initiatives and proper messaging. We have 2 progressive US Senators and a 9 member, all Democratic Congressional delegation. And, although we have a Republican Governor, he is the most liberal, anti-Trump Republican governor in the country and we have a Democratic legislature that can override (and has) his vetoes in each chamber.

Right now, the polling shows that Massachusetts has the second highest polling numbers against Trump, behind only our neighboring state, Vermont.

We message well here. I'd like to see it at the national level, also.
