Yesterday I did a quick review of the all the titles listed on KOS headlines going down the right side of the page. There were about 75 in total. About 68 of them were reactions to something about Trump or his administration and the rest were personal or “fun”. Not a single one was related to Dems goals, plans, or policies.
Now, clearly Trump is the news and there will always be lots of justified stories about his latest atrocities, but 68/75? And no discussion of what we want to see happen if/when Dems ever get back in power? I see pretty much the same on MSNBC and Sirius/XM lefty talk channels, almost devoid of forward looking issues. So here we go again, heading into election season with no serious message other than “we’re not him.” Come on Dems, step up and take a stand. It won’t hurt, it will help. Love him or hate him, that politician who was an unknown rumpled old guy from Vermont made a strong challenge to HRC because he took strong, clear, and honest positions that would have helped the little guys.
Are we going to stand for the $15 hour minimum wage? How do we plan to support Social Security and Medicare? What about student loans? Global warming policies? Pick your policies, but pick them soon and stand by them. Failing to plan, as they say, is planning to fail.
