I’ve always felt that Warren was one of the few politicians who actually cared about making our lives better. This response of hers, however, is completely tone-deaf.
Progressive ballot measures for things like higher min. wage and guaranteed sick leave are (and have always been) hugely popular. Dems must make these policies part of their platform and do a much better job on messaging.
This means they need to stop pushing out progressives. The “I’m not Trump” and “Trump is a threat to democracy” appeals were never going to work. Give people a reason to vote for YOU. SHOW them how you’re going to make their lives better.
Calling for an obstructionist policy while Trump holds office is fine, but it does nothing to help you win the next election. It’s time to reinvent the Democrat party into one that actually serves the working class and actually “un-rigs” the system against them.
Spot on. When times are bad (whether actually true, or simply perceived that way) it should come as no surprise that the people voted for a change. Trump is the embodiment of “anti-establishment”. Progressives must take back the party from Neoliberals.
