It’s still patronizing, basically surface address of issues regardless of her “critique” of the party messaging and strength. She STILL advocated in this watering down things like corporate oversight and accountability, education, etc. She’s punting and fumbling.

I made it FIFTEEN paragraphs into that article and still had not read a single policy proposal

slotkin thinks she is going to be the next president, but a reagan republican isn't going to cut it

They really want everyone to stop trying to fix problems and start lying about fixing problems, the other side isn’t tethered to reality so why do they have to be

Apparently she’s unfamiliar with the platform Kamala Harris ran on a few months back.

I’m not unsympathetic to the problem. It is very clear that many voters do hate and fear radical solutions. What I’m unsympathetic to is the idea that sounding like you have a solution when you don’t is still good politics. We’re not going to permit reform our way out of an affordability crisis

That's not fair, she also used Curse Words and sold out trans people despite her status

Correct.

“The Senator concluded her remarks with the phrase, ‘No, not like that.’”

This lady does one thing and it’s cut promos where she has no solutions to offer. She’s a hall monitor through and through

Making one of the most conservative members of the caucus the image of the Democrats is a classic blunder.

How about they focus on the country becoming an authoritarian state first?

I cannot stand her smug centrism.

streamlining licensing for small business has been a dem talking point my entire life and at some point I just want to see the polling on this because that's not in the top five issues of any business owner I know

It’s a thing, but it’s a local problem mainly due to staffing in cities. There’s not some complicated federal web of regulations they can clean up.

Staffing and implementation of bloated, horrible new digital "one stop shop" services. Our 311 and permit offices are practically useless now!

Right I mean if she wanted to do something she could get SBA to start handing out bags of cash and lower startup costs or tackle the rules that allow banks to limit anchor tenants so the same six stores aren't dominating every single market because they are the only ones who get leases

It’s not entirely discourse. It’s also abstruse, means tested programs that focus on “education” that will be cut in less than 4 years anyway and tax credits that will mostly go to rent seeking businesses.

Do I need to read this “outline” to learn that it’s a bunch of wishcasting and jargon that doesn’t want to engage with economic principles that would support leftish positions?

The centrist playbook is talk about the right things, which are on a very limited list, using the exact right language, also from a very limited list, which will lead to a list of accomplishments that... has nothing on it at all.

This, but they’re all dressed like Matthew Lesko
