John,
People ask me every day: Where are the Democrats?
There are a handful fighting Trump’s regime bravely. But party leadership has mostly been asleep at the wheel — and voters are rightfully fed up.
In this week’s video, we look at what effective Democratic leadership needs to do at this moment. Please watch and share with fellow Democrats. We need to put pressure on our leaders to step up NOW!
I lay out step-by-step suggestions in the video, so I recommend that you watch it in full. But they all boil down to one important idea: Simply opposing Trump isn’t enough. Voters want more!
Democrats must also demonstrate for a better future — one that shakes up the system on behalf of all Americans rather than a privileged few.
Policies that help working families. Medicare For All. Paid family leave. Busting up monopolies to bring down prices. Strengthening worker power. Democrats must embrace young, fresh voices in the party and present a vision that is worth fighting for.
Never before in living memory has it been as urgent for America to have a strong opposition party. Which is why it’s so important for Democrats to take the bold steps I recommend in the video.
And if there are Democrats who won’t — we need to replace them with those who will.
