This is How Democrats Must Message To Win Back The Majority
Timidity, playing possum, & leaning to the mythical "center" won't help Democrats excite the base or the majority. Instead, they must actually stand for something and communicate it with authenticity.

Going all in for Trump was part of the boss class’s war against workers.
“.. With the vacancy-to-unemployed ratio now below 1.0, bargaining power is again shifting back to capital and away from workers. .. This is a marked contrast with an overall economy that is running hot.”
