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...What's the point of this?
Republicans are shameless

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

Yea, that's the theme. Dems shouldn't be p*ssy.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.
We already see Joe Manchin p*ssying.
