That is still what I want to see Democrats fight for.
Republicans have labeled anything Democrats do "far left" and "radical." Those epithets should be meaningless by now.

Yes - stand for unions. Why we ever stopped our full support for workers I will never understand.
But they need to fight for universal health care, access to quality education through college, voting systems that can be trusted and audited, better social security, veteran's care and so much more.
