The Repubs will scream socialism at the top of their lungs while America will viscerally understand and welcome things like fifteen dollars an hour and health care that does not cost more than their rent. We need to show Americans graphically what extractive industries controlled by the one percenters is doing to the planet. We need to show America graphically what the Walmart and Amazon have done to the average household in America. In 1975 most families in America only needed one bread-winner...now they need two or three and still keep falling behind further every month. Americans are further behind on their car payments than ever before. Fully one third of American houselholds are food-insecure and only a paycheck or two or an accident away from homelessness.
This is how Dems need to approach this critical election and we must not be intimidated by the billionaires' propaganda machine. We can and shall overcome. That is all.
