Showing Original Post only (View all)OK. Trump is bad. Is that enough to vote for Democrats? [View all]
We won't win votes by just yelling "GOTV."
A Daily Kos editorial is pleading with Democrats: Start rallying FOR Dem causes, not just AGAINST the president.
https://m.dailykos.com/stories/1752975
A blue wave requires that Democrats tell the American people precisely how they will make their lives better. They must inform Americans that they will solve the health care issue once and for all by instituting a single-payer Medicare for All healthcare system. They must tell their constituents that they will finally create a subsidized child care system that makes working possible for all those who want (or need) to do so. They need to show Americans that they will solve the overbearing student loan/debt crisis. They need to tell the segment of the population decimated by the justice system that they will orchestrate necessary reforms. They must be proactive on many other progressive issues that most Americans want, as well.

I believe all of those are in the Democratic National Committee's 2016 platform.

Yes, it is. Because he is a uniquely corrupt and incompetent president. (nt)
