2. Democrats need to pander to Democratic voters, not Republican legislators

Democrats would have full control of the legislature if not for gerrymandering.

Democrats need to stop pretending that conservatives have anything useful to offer when their economic, military and social policies have been failures - and bring even more millennials into the Democratic tent by standing up to those who continually favor the rich over the middle and lower classes.

So few Americans bother to vote in the first place - and one reason is because it seems that no matter what the vote, conservatives still think they get to decide everyone's future.

They should not have this much influence when they are dismissed by so many.
