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.
