• Make it seem like they get off to money and money alone. they're greedy, unchristian, selfish, closed-minded.
• Strategies to secure each "vote" the hispanic vote, the black vote, the women vote, the educated vote the farm vote etc.
• We need a "Democratic Tea Party"
• Take control of state and local governments - basically we need a "Project Blue Map"
• Attack the republicans constantly - even outside of election cycles
• Time to play hardball - do all of the rule breaking tradition trouncing stupid shit that the repubs do in congress. Quit expecting them to follow the rules and quit following the rules ourselves.
• Normalization of the word "Radical Right Wing" - call them terrorists, fascists, oligarchs, Nazis.
• We need a Left Wing Version of Fox News - or just abolish Fox News entirely. Or destroy its reputation as "news"
