So some Democratic politicians actually got the memo, but clearly others are flailing. To help them out, I’d like to offer my sage political wisdom. Try the following message:
1. Kick Trump out.
2. Tax the living shit out of billionaires.
3. Use the money to get folks back on their feet and clean up this mess.
Just that. Simple and direct, no fussing around. Give that a try and see how it lands. Float a trial balloon in some minor swing district election and see what happens.

Every major party has been running on •that• for years, but unfortunately it means completely different things to different people — and not all of those things are good.
I made my list carefully.

@inthehands 4 - and stop running huge deficits

•If• they get control. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
As for whether it is their plan, well…some yes, some I have my doubts. But pushing people to campaign on that — especially in primaries! — would light a useful fire.

@inthehands Hopefully, that is their plan when they get control of the House and Senate.

Just to clarify: this is not a complete list of things I want for the world. This is not even a complete political platform. It’s just a single simple, clear, core message that I suspect would work much better in elections than that fash-lite mush all the Newsomesque political consultants are oozing out of their pores right now.

@dusk
I have some counter-news about who actually casts votes.
Dusk to Don :raccoon:
That’s a great platform.
But oof, do I have some bad news about where the Democrats get their campaign funding 😝
