Oh, we have to do this.

We have to do that.

No, we want those voters to come and vote for the Democratic Party or to vote for the most progressive politician that's available.

We want them to do that.

But we don't want them to do that by conceding on these ridiculous lines.

We want them to do that because we're offering something to every American unconditionally.

Medicare for all is obviously a great example of this, because at the end of the day, races need health care to race, need a roof over their heads, too.

And if they have that roof over their heads and if they have that health care,

maybe it's going to be a little bit more difficult for them to act out on their racist desires.

Or even if they don't, it doesn't matter because they voted for the non-racist option or the less racist option in that election.

So my argument always is instead of trying to bargain with them and instead of trying to concede on these culture war narratives, offer them.

something to vote for, for the first time ever, instead of taking a defensive position and allowing the Republicans to dominate the conversation.

This was a major issue in the last election cycle as well.

And I really hope that this is a opportunity for restitution from the Democrats.

I'm specifically talking about the Democrats and what they could do in the upcoming election, in the midterm election.

and what they should be doing already.

Because there is a reason for why the Democratic Party's disapproval rating is also incredibly, incredibly high right now.

There's a tremendous amount of discontent towards the Democrats as well, and one must ask the question, why?

I think that's because...

People are frustrated with their inability to address the things that Donald Trump is saying and doing and mount a serious defense against everything that Trump is doing, which sometimes means playing hardball, which sometimes means continuing with the government shutdown, for example, when the momentum is in your way.
