I think we strayed from a powerful economic message (from the late 1980s-present) and even some on social issues. But the latest platform was a good step, as are some Presidential contenders supporting the $15 minimum wage and single payer health care. Single payer should be easier since we have Medicare, which we can improve under the plan. But I am open to all ideas that give AFFORDABLE universal health care.
