(10,862 posts)Even though I have great love and respect for people like Biden, Kerry, Bernie, I just think we need to go a little younger next time.
I also like Lieu, Schiff, Jackie Spier, and Stilwell.

(4,407 posts)Universal health care, a living minimum wage, environmental protection, fair taxation of the wealthy, etc. I think we will have an extraordinary opportunity to move, not just talk, towards the left.

(6,034 posts)Many people have been conditioned to believe that "environmental protection" means "east cost elites" want take your job away to save trees. Once you repeat a lie enough it becomes accepted at facts.
A good strategy would be to discuss green manufacturing jobs in the rust belt. Lets make solar panels and wind turbines in these places. Then you can say something like "This plan is two for the price of one. This plan will bring good jobs into your community and it will be good for the environment as well."
