Makes sense....just speak plainly about things that matter to human beings and then when you do stay with it reminding people that you're on it and you're not going to give up. What happened with the Dems giving in was a betrayal because they couldn't be counted on to do the hard work. I'm 65 now and have attended all the No Kings rallies, called my congressional representatives, written postcards, posted to social media about the lies and voted. We showed our support and then we won "bigly" in the recent elections and still they couldn't strengthen their spines. It won't stop me from saying no to this hateful, corrupt administration but man do they make it harder.
First time reader here. I claim to be moderate/centrist, but I have also been disappointed in the voting habits of some of the Congressional members. This was an interesting article, and I will try to keep up with your writing.
Thoughtful as always--Those do the same issues and the inside story from the Clinton campaign is revealing. Interestingly in 2,000, activist friends in Ohio had said they were pleading with the Clinton administration or Gore to say something opposing a proposed incinerator with major potential impact and huge local opposition. But they didn't. I had just met Katy McGinty at a gathering she called about how to avoid Democrats bleeding off to Nader. I sent her their contact info asking her to at least talk with them. But she never did.

I don't think 2026 candidates and campaigns could receive a more crucial piece of advice than this one sentence:
"Winning elections isn’t about defining ourselves as moderates; winning elections is defining ourselves as fiercely fighting for working families."
Agreed. We must stop allowing labels to frame us and start framing policies for people as our goals.
