    Democrats could get so much fucking better messaging.

    For instance, Gallup shows a majority of Americans hold a favorable view of small-business and an unfavorable view of big business. (the latter wasn’t always the case).

    They could easily talk about universal healthcare liberating people to innovate and entrepreneur without concern of either Healthcare for themselves or subsidizing employee health insurance. This was a huge burden on my dad’s successful small business for years.

    The image of wealthy executives making record profits while productivity sores and yet the slice of the pie gets smaller for everyone is powerful.

    We need to remind folks that the majority of Wall Street, bankers, real estate investors, corporate executives are conservative Republicans and that these people DO NOT have the best interest of the common Joe in mind.

    The official Democratic candidates must get better, more evocative talking-points. Rachel Bitecofer’s book is a must-read. If we’re facing radical extremism in bully form then we must assertively push the bully back.

      They don’t actually have our interests in mind either, unfortunately. Both sides are funded by and serve corporate interests, and the Republican Party is just more open about pushing policies that benefit said interests.

        No no no, it’s the inverse-funnel vacuum economic model. It’s shaped like a pyramid with a hat, and the wealth gets sucked up held for safe keeping by those at the top.

          Edit: words, “No need to carry on this discussion.” to “There is no need to carry on this discussion.”

          Hmmm…

          Your logic is sound!

          There is no need to carry on this discussion.
