(37,648 posts)I would think the leaders would have a heart to heart, regroup, and rethink things. Strategy, issues.
As for the ACA, while I have had that insurance for some years, it did have problems, which resulted in many middle class people voting Republican (if what I read was true, and if what I was hearing was reflective of others in similar positions). I would say that the Dem leaders need to address those issues, but it was as if they didn't hear the complaints. I heard them. Loud and clear. Hillary did say some things about working on the ACA, but I don't recall she dealt with it directly very much. That was a big issue with the middle class..small business owners, middle class workers whose employers didn't provide insurance, and others.
It's not my decision. These are just my observations. I hope (and believe) a blue wave is coming. I'm just saying, with the influx of hopefully many new young Democratic voters, the leaders address their needs, and what they expect. Telling them that "now is not the time" is probably not going to work for them. We don't want to lose them.
