Gang violence...
What's the point of this?:patrice:
given that robert reich is a leftist economics guy, i think the point is that neoliberalism and trump-shaming alone wont help electorally. gonna have to actually get down to the level of a trump supporter and offer something tangible to their class interests in order to actually make progress...

3 moderate/Independent crowds Dems need to look at:

1. That Hardcore Trump supporters. You can't say/do anything to persuade them.
2. The slightly gun-ho Trump supporters. Hate Trump's persona but love the economy's strong, the tax cuts, the good news in foreign policy, etc.
3. The anti-Trump crowd that won't support Trump but "Dems aren't motivating enough to get my vote either " crowd

Dems need to get two of these groups of people in the fold and forget about one of them.

You don't waste your time with 1.
And 2 is likely most of 1. No one actually cares about economic numbers, they care about their bottom line. Record low unemployment numbers don't put food on the table when you've long been employed.




So you win over 3 and you encourage the members of your base that aren't voting to vote.

:patrice:Sounds fictional.

"Ha! Believe me, friend, Trump is doing great! Very Big Things! Liberals don't get it! LOL! Just Fantastic!"

:patrice:

Trump is the devil but I don't think the average voter is obsessing over the Stormy Daniels story or the Mueller investigation.

I even try to keep up with what's going on in these cases and I'm just like skip to the impeachment part or :manny:

Yeah Dems shouldn't be p*ssy about blasting the unemployment numbers. So what its low? Wages are low too. That Tax Cut BARELY put anything in workers pockets with rising cost it means nothing.

Yea, that's the theme. Dems shouldn't be p*ssy.

Im not going to hang my hopes on it across the country though.

We already see Joe Manchin p*ssying. :francis:
