People are telling us openly they feel they aren't a part of our democracy because they cant even afford to be a part of society. Its time to listen to them and tailor the message. The last presidential showed us this while we centered the idea that democracy was under threat and blathered about Israel and Palestine trump bullshitted his way back to the presidency talking about affordability that we know he didnt care about but all he had to do was convince the average voter and he did we lost every swing state. It may be time to finally say hey we've messed up in our messaging.
