I consider myself a progressive, but I want to think out loud here.
For all the anti-democratic, racist, corrupt garbage that Trump/GOP puts out, what if Dems simply ignored all that — and simply emphasized 5-7 policies that have polled with OVERWHELMING support among all Americans?
They could repeat them like parrots over and over and over. They should try to pass them in the House, over and over and over.
-Gun control (“Republicans don’t mind your kids being killed in school shootings”)
-Anti-corruption (“Republicans want politicians to be bought by greedy corporations”)
-Minimum wage to $20/hour and index to inflation (“Republicans don’t want your wages to increase”)
-Paid family leave and subsidized childcare (“Republicans want working families to suffer”)
-Medicare as an option for all but not mandatory (“Republicans don’t want you to have quality health care”)
-Tax increases for the richest, tax cuts for everyone else (“Republicans only want to protect their rich, corrupt friends”)
-Renewable energy bill to fix climate change and create jobs (“Republicans want your air and water poisoned and the planet to burn”)
Why would happen if we just emphasized these like a broken record?
