13. Trump is 2-1 with us using that approach

Tue Jan 27, 2026, 01:37 PM

Tuesday

It literally took a world wide pandemic for us to win. Sure Trump won't be running again, but he's hardly the only far right nationalist. We will need to keep fighting that. We used to have FDR's New Deal, LBJ's Great Society, things that spoke through action of our political north stars. Even Obama had Yes We Can and The Audacity of Hope which while not as legislatively grounded as FDR or LBJ (for multiple reasons), spoke to our aspirations as a party.
