In the wake of the shutdown's ugly ending and griping by Democrats,"... when will Democrats ever get their act together.".."Schumer must go"...etc...the Democrats have an act together if they would just realize it and communicate it. The old saying is still true: all politics is local, but there are two themes voters can recite by memory: Make health care and cost of living more affordable; restore and defend Democracy. These are the two issues that all Democrats can subscribe to, and nearly every plank in a platform fits into one or the other, or even both. Affordability (tariffs, labor shortages, inflation, restoring ACA subsidies). 2) pro Democracy: (ICE thuggery, acting like a dictator, and a King. defying laws, white Christian nationalism, end cronyism and corruption, cruelty, and so much more, such as restoring balance and separation of powers, and honoring the rule of law and due process. There may be local issues that have gotten locals up in arms. In the midterms, when elections are by House district and some Senate seats are up in state races, raise those local issues, like getting the military off our streets. Adapt them, take a few examples, and tell how and what you can do to fix it. No laundry lists are needed but examples and a few details will do.
