(1,602 posts)I don't get why pundits harp on this. I suppose Dems don't have a simple, concise message. Neither does the other side. "We hate the black guy" was their driving force. Lying about stuff and whipping morons up into a frienzy about those lies was their driving force.
I don't think it's too hard to state for what Dems stand:
1) Improve access to healthcare
2) Take action on guns
3) Increase the minimum wage
4) Get $$ out of politics (and/or overturn Citizens United)
5) Protect the environment
6) Allow women to make their own healthcare choices (and/or protect Roe)
7) Stand with minorities - all races, sexual orientations - give them a voice, protect them from harrassment
8) Regulate financial institutions so the whole system doesn't come crashing down again
9) Give tax relief to working families, the rich pay a little more
10) Increase opportunity for everyone to have access to a higher eduction
........and so on
That's 10 in no particular order and I didn't have to break a sweat. Just because it's not some simple, dumb shit like "drill baby drill" doesn't mean it's hard to identify.
