Dem infighting

Man, am I sick of moderate Dems blaming progressives for every loss or problem - this has been going on my entire adult life.

Progressive policies and approaches are hugely popular (Child tax credit, negotiating pharm prices, sensible gun control, universal healthcare coverage, etc, etc, etc). 

As someone else said, only Republicans are talking endlessly about trans rights and DEI.

Dems need to stop letting the Right define every issue and every debate. For example, "defund the police" was about putting more resources into social services and supports, rather than expecting every societal problem (homelessness, drug addiction, mental health issues) to be solved by law enforcement. Instead of explaining the value of this approach, moderates threw progressives under the bus and let the Right harp on how ridiculous this issue was. It's not ridiculous, it's super important and evidence-based and popular, when you get beyond the (admittedly poorly chosen) slogan.

The Dems have public opinion on our side, it's absurd that we are fighting for credibility. We've let the Right define the issues for years - Obamacare is case in point - the elements of that legislation are hugely popular, but "Obamacare" polls badly. WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU?

The Left needs to stop bitching about Trump's golfing and tell voters about how hard we are working to make life better for average Americans. Because we are, whether we are moderates or progressives.
