Its absolutely within reach..but imo DNC needs to understand that the public has no trust in the government because of both parties failing to represent the people for decades now. That's the main reason for Trump's popularity and Harris / Clinton losing. DNC needs a overhaul to match the times

Absolutely.. and the only way that's getting done is if the DNC can convince voters to give them all 3 branches and a super majority.

Thet speaks more to the DNC platform / messaging than anything else. Harris and Clinton both ran heavily centrist campaigns that chased moderate republican votes.. progressive policies are incredibly popular across the board (look how much Biden's loan forgiveness did for him). People want solutions

Did you miss the question mark?

Hard disagree .. there's people that cult for the Dems and there's people that cult for trump / GOP .. trying to change either is a waste of time... But there's a whole lot of people that aren't firmly planted and absolutely get swayed (as shown by trump , Biden, trump presidencies)

You think blind devotion is a good thing? How's that sh-t working for the Republican base? Pointing out faults and criticizing when things aren't done right is the only way the people will ever have representation .. if they don't have to work for your vote, they won't.

Yeah, letting the GOP control all the narratives is waay better 🙄

So? ...at least Dems would then be able to say they put out something people want but the GOP is blocking it ... That's way better than doing nothing

"It won't pass" seems like a piss poor excuse to not do the right thing.
Making Republicans reject solutions that the public wants is astronomically more beneficial than sitting in the background doing nothing unless it's something that'll pass Republican majorities.

If you're getting bit repeatedly by a snake, you don't criticize the person telling you to move away from the snake and say "why aren't you telling the snake to stop biting?!" ... Republicans aren't going to do things to help the people so having that expectation is utterly worthless

Dems should be cranking out bills that address problems we all face routinely (and do so without earmarks). Make GOP refuse actual fixes.
Trump points out (and claims he's going fix) problems we all want fixed .. what he does doesn't match his words, but only people that pay attention catch it

That's such crap. There is no reason someone should even need multiple insurance policies, and even less of a reason that they all refuse to help

Insurance is the ultimate scam.
Health insurance has always been the worst, but now (in Ca) were facing home owners insurers fleeing the state because they're having to payout from the constant fires ... But we still have to have it if you have a mortgage. So people are paying $400-$1k A MONTH

Too bad for him and the rest of America that he waited to express morals until well past the time when it would have done any good...
... Just think, if he and the GOP would have done their jobs during Trump's first impeachment America and the GOP wouldn't be on fire.

I guess the plus side is that there's a large portion of voters that don't follow politics at all and base their votes entirely on how financially secure they feel at the time..And at this rate Dems will be getting control of congress in 2 years.. hopefully they're planning now instead of winging it

There's plenty of blame to go around.

Not to be confused w/ the time trump stole and shared national security secrets..Or when trump tweeted national security secrets..Or the other time trump tweeted national security secrets ... Or the time trump took a Russian photographer into the WH and let him take pics of national security secrets

Hopefully Democrats have finally (AFTER 16 F-KING YEARS!) realized that they're negotiating with terrorists

Trump may well be the biggest national security threat the US has ever faced.

I hope the idiots that voted for the rapist are starting to remember that all he does is waste tax payer money.

More than sensible, it's astronomically more beneficial to the American people AND the American economy.
We waste vastly more money trying to avoid these obvious solutions to our blatantly detrimental problems.

I think if that were the case (in regards to workers pay) the cost of living wouldn't be getting continually further and further away from the median incomes.. But you're right that corps just raise cost (/increase profits) just because they can
Companies know our need for pay puts us at their whim

I agree fully ... Messaging has always been a problem for the DNC but it's been so apparent as it has been these last few months

One of the reasons establishment Dems need to go... Pelosi has always been a big advocate for allowing it in Congress .. then when it became too politically toxic to keep backing it they sent the bill to committee to let it die there... That sh-t really turns off already apathetic voters.

I'd argue that their wages aren't the problem ... They aren't becoming millionaires on their $200k salary .. it's all the outside money they're receiving for voting a particular way.
I'd like to see all politician salaries tied to the median income of the area they rep and ban all outside money
