(20,976 posts)Its their responsibility to figure out how to communicate their plan for implementing the progressive policies most Americans support, while stripping away the republican created stain on the label liberal.
Perhaps if, once Dems regain power, they killed the filibuster and governed fearlessly and unhesitatingly as progressives (as Whitmer did in Michigan with just a one seat majority in the legislature), ramming through bill after bill of policies that benefit the poor and middle class, and expanding the court so those bills dont get overturned- then the general public just might appreciate the value of a government run by the Democratic Party.
They could do it in as little as two years, from January 2029 to the 2030 midterms. Whitmer did it in one.
But it would mean ousting folks like Fetterman and Golden, and replacing them with Dems who will support the policies of a progressive Dem administration.
