4. Basically, it is POLICY that counts, not messaging
Last edited Tue Jan 3, 2017, 08:25 AM - Edit history (1) The Schumer/Establishment end of the Party still thinks it's about messaging.
They could not be more wrong. It's about policies. It's very simple, really: The current corporate and banking funder$ of the Democratc Party will not permit policies that are good for the middle class (inexpensive education, secure SS and Medicare, Single-Payer HC, sensible banking regulations, etc.) They never will. To be an honest Party of The People again, the Democrats are going to have to kick-out the corporate people and their money, and become a more left-leaning, truly Progressive Party that stands for the things Bernie Sanders talked about, and more. The Party will become much poorer, but it will then be a real party again. It will again have a soul. That is the answer. Problem is, too many people who insist on calling themselves Democrats, don't like that answer and see FDR/New Deal policies as undesirable. OK, then, The Democratic Party dies. ![]() Is this the future that has to be? ![]() |
