Dems need to be out with the people,doing town halls, meetings, events…
The most glaring problem with Democratic leadership's "let's wait for Trump to mess this all up, voters will come running back to us" approach is that it misses a critical aspect:
Voters need something to lure them back, and if Democrats don't have a vision articulated, what exactly is the lure?

Folks are frustrated with Dems in Congress right now.
Here’s my solution - get the hell out of DC and hold some hearings.
I love town halls, but we need to focus on people right now. Have folks come testify about how these cuts are affecting them.
Get local media there.
Make it real.

You don’t fight fascism by shifting right.
You go left.
Now is the time for Democrats to embrace Universal Healthcare, Universal Education, Paid Vacation, Paid Family Leave, & a Living Wage.
It’s time to join the rest of the civilized world.
That’s the message.
That’s progress.

When people say 'run government like a business,' they mean cut services, raise prices, and pay the CEO 400 times more than the workers.

After years of talking to Trump supporters my view of them has become very simple: They want socialist, even sometimes progressive reforms but they want them from someone who makes those reforms feel powerful and masculine and they want to make sure the people they don't like don't benefit from them
