You think affordable healthcare, affordable child care, affordable hosing, affordable groceries, reproductive rights for women, living wages for working people, treating all Americans as equals, protecting the environment are unpopular? These are the issues most on voters minds this year Do you also not understand how terrible the polling is for the Democratic party right now because they're not seen as fighting back against Trump/GOP. It doesn't bother you that Trump and the GOP are anti-democracy Nazis, destroying American democracy in broad daylight while the current status quo dem leadership sits on the sidelines and lets them get away with it? The anti-democracy GOP has been destroying American democracy for the last 25 years. The dem grass roots understands this threat. So does the new generation of dem leaders. It's time for the status quo leadership to step aside so that the dem grass roots and the new dem leadership can save American democracy for future generations of Americans..
