"At a moment when U.S. democracy is threatened by MAGA authoritarianism and deep inequality, doubling down on private-sector solutions while ignoring redistributive policy is a dangerous distraction," said one critic.
“To get out of the political wilderness, and win over not just Democrats but also Independent and moderate voters, policymakers need to loudly state their case for helping middle- and working-class Americans,” Demand Progress corporate power program director Emily Peterson-Cassin said in a statement Thursday.
“What these voters want is clear: a populist agenda that takes on corporate power and corruption,” Peterson-Cassin added. “The stakes are too high for Democrats to fixate on a message that only appeals to a minority of independent and Democratic voters.”
Well, duh…
Maybe some Dems somewhere will pull their head from their ass, read this, and seriously do some thinking on it.
Though, my hopes for current “establishment” Dems are low to the point of nearly non-existent… 🤦♀️ 🤡 🖕

You mean politicians like Bernie and AOC?
Or DNC leaders like the chair?
Because all three of them have spent the last couple months doing so in red/purple districts in preparation of flipping the house in the midterms…
Good for those folks…
Gonna take more than just them to accomplish the goal.
Would that it could be more ubiquitous but I just don’t see that happening. 🤷♂️
