The country is in this mess because too many people are struggling financially.

Yes, Biden did a great job navigating us back from the pandemic, but the fact is that over 50 years there's been an erosion of financial wellbeing for too many people.

The billionaires and upper income people are doing fine. But a lot of folks are left behind. They're facing wage stagnation, skyrocketing housing prices, student loans with predatory interest rates, medical debt, etc. They can't support their families. They feel unhappy and stressed.

The Democratic Party needs to start making radical promises and fighting for ordinary people. The fight needs to be loud and visible.
