So true. The Democratic Party needs to work on its ‘Leitmotifs’. More equality. Join the EU in taxing the conglomerates that shop around the globe like locusts to evade taxes (“No taxation, no representation of corporate interests”). Think of Amazon, Apple, Google. Better health care (preventing diseases therefore preventing skyrocketing costs should be put high on the agenda). Address Climate Change is a HUGE one. Don’t act on this one not only means that climate disasters and costs will grow worse, but America will miss the chance to be a front runner in clean technologies. Continue working on better education in general and gun control; lobbying against the last has proven to be such a false though effective ‘narrative’ for the GOP (like individual freedom is at stake when you are no longer able to shoot people). Police will feel safer too.
