4. Well said. Now if we can just message this in Dem campaigns we'll have something

Republicans show themselves, quite often, as the enemy of the common person--be that vets, the working class, single moms, on and on. And somehow, we Dems don't often seem to be able to get that point passed on to the voters in a way that they vote D rather than R (or vote at all). I often think this is due to the one issue voters-- those who are for guns, against abortion, will never vote for a person of color or woman or whatever. But somehow I keep thinking more folks would look at the broader issues that affect them, their kids, grandkids and the broader community and GET A CLUE!
