Been trying to figure out my frustration with the speech, and this article spelled it out, thank you

This case got flagged for offside: "The Court’s order is quite narrow and is unlikely to have many implications for future cases." www.vox.com/scotus/40264...

I just got a mailer from ssa dot gov this morning.
Checked all the links to make sure it wasn't a scam, it appeared legit.
Didn't bother logging in to look at the heavily emphasized statement.

Finally all people need to feel valuable and they belong. The dial doesn’t shift if people are attacking each other.
I despise what Trump is doing - he genuinely doesn’t care but instead of waiting to see how bad it gets we could try a different tack.
We need to intend a win/win outcome.

Rather than attacking Trump’s character, the debate needs to be reframed embracing all values.
1. A visionary plan for the economy - and how desired outcomes can still be achieved.
2. Understand and articulate the power of whole society win/wins.
2. Make the economic case for democracy.

Other ideas for other ways to fight back. If you don't know where to start, pick one of these and do it.

Starting a piece in the WSJ with "President Trump and I agree on a lot of things" is tone deafness after that Oval Office meeting.
You're right, America *can* get back on top of auto markets, but fixing the economy will be a lot smoother if we solve for fascism and fix democracy first.

true, but there's still time for democracy to make a comeback, if a majority quickly recognizes this is actually happening and also acts like it. town halls giving me hope

"I am a fan of Jeff Merkley, ok. I don't want to sound like I'm not. He spent too much time talking about how we need to repeal Citizens United. He spent too much time talking about climate change..
We will never get to discuss those things again if we don't stop fascism."

Really hoping you use the words "oligarchy," "billionaire," and/or "robber baron" at least once in your speech. Mostly robber baron.
Anything less would fail to capture the full scope of what is happening. We need clear truth and action right now, not a campaign platform. Please.

Lots of good stuff in here that I hope Democratic leadership is at least considering: youtu.be/egL8sP35-Yo
