What Democrats haven't done a good enough job on is the one thing 'experts' have been hammering for several years - the DEM PR campaign on the ACA has been weak.

Their renewed focus on #BENGHAZI! probably won't help much either. Proud Liberal Dem May 2014 #1
The GOP cannot run on their jobs record, ACA was patterned after the Romney plan, Thinkingabout May 2014 #2

Democrats would do well to listen to Elizabeth Warren. She and her ilk are the near future NorthCarolina May 2014 #8
Democrats need a national narrative … a fresh version of "New Deal," say Auggie May 2014 #10
Unfortunately, the party has been hijacked by those more interested in PR narratives woo me with science May 2014 #11
I mean PR narrative … there isn't a cohesive national communication strategy. Auggie May 2014 #14
That's also true. But we have no populist platform to trumpet, so why blow the horns? Scuba May 2014 #33
Create one!!! Aren't Democrats supposedly the party of the people? Let's remind everyone of that. Auggie May 2014 #36
We need to GOTV and get people to the polls, too. riqster May 2014 #13
I like corporapublicrat B ...because B looks and acts nicer than A. L0oniX May 2014 #18

That's what I'm saying. Voting is voting for a corporapublicrat ...either way. L0oniX May 2014 #22
So not voting helps to change that paradigm? riqster May 2014 #29
Well it does keep the corporate clown circus going L0oniX May 2014 #39
We are all fucked as long as corporapublicrats are in office. L0oniX May 2014 #17

I'm still worried about the massive corporate money the Supreme Court says is free speech tclambert May 2014 #28
