In reply to the discussion: I Am Exasperated [View all]ThePartyThatListens
(340 posts)38. The answer is simple
It's time for Democrats to be Democrats, aka champions of the left.
It's time for them to fight.
Put down this "my friends on the other side" nonsense.
Pick up the "I WELCOME their hatred!" mantra of FDR.
Americans want politicians who will FIGHT for what they believe in.
Democrats start doing that, they'll start winning.
Just like FDR.

It's like Joe Biden says, we have never lived up to our ideals. But up until now, we have never walked away from them.
