DEMOCRATS - FIND A LEADER / PLATFORM....
A popular saying is going around:
Democrats have 70 year old members and 80 year old leaders.
It's would be funny if not true...Democrats who had to oppose the withering opposition of Republicans, who HATED everything President Obama, said or did --- have now got to suffer having Donald Trump, as the Republican President presiding with a Republican Congress and soon maybe, a Supreme Court.
But what has been the Democratic response - nothing, just talk, oppose and do nothing - When they should be finding a new Leader, younger leadership, and developing a Health Care initiative to fix 'Obamacare', to counter the morass that Republicans have been sucked into.
Democrats need to develop a 'tax reform' program that is an alternative to 'tax breaks for the rich', They need to set an spending agenda and the tax structure to support it and a path to fiscal responsibility.
Democrats need to show Why 'climate change' matters to blue collar, middle class people, who need to make a living now - and can wait out dramatic climate change long in the future.
Democrats must fight 'gerrymandering' in every State, to make sure that everyone VOTE counts, not just in 'safe' districts. They need to make it fair to Democrats and Republicans and Independents so that anyone can win and election based on their plans and policies - not their Party.
Democrats must admit - they lost - and need to rebuild the Party.. The Republicans held a 'coming to Jesus' meeting to expand their Party, they didn't follow the plan, but won anyway.
Democrats have a chance to reverse the horrendous losses, but they must start NOW and work to bring people together with solid plans and programs to bring American together.
Health Care, Taxes, foreign, social and environmental policies must be formed and supported and presented to the American people - so that the see the difference between Democrats and Republicans.
