I agree with his views. I find him to be the most inspirational speaker in office right now. And his words have appeal to many, even some of Trump's base.
Democrats can't compete with Republicans when it comes to fundraising; they should keep emphasizing that the Republicans have become the money party to benefit the wealthy to the detriment of most Americans. Republican Party has become the party of greed, and Republicans (at least the ones in power now) have chosen tax cuts over health care, the environment, public education, roads/bridges and other infrastructure, etc.
