Democrats need to concentrate on four issues for the November elections

[malaise]

Education, Guns, Corruption and the failure of ReTHUGs to check the Con and his thieves. The privatization of education, dissing of teachers and salaries of teachers, the slaughter of children in schools because of the lack of gun control and looting of state and local resources for personal gain by the Kakistocracy goons, from top to bottom. Stop fugging playing nice and call out the thieves. Call the Con a con..

Go for it Dems!!!

1. Health care

How the Rs are determined to go back to the "good old days" when you were completely at the mercy of your employer (who, if they did offer insurance, could offer any useless crap and call it "health insurance&quot and if you have a pre-existing condition (and everyone does if you look hard enough) too bad, just go bankrupt and die. That's why they had no replacement plan ready with their attempts at ACA repeal last year - they had no intention of replacing it with anything, just to go back to the old way.

2. True

Add healthcare

3. Health care is our best issue

Especially in swing districts if the Lamb race was any indication.

4. What's important to the relevant electorate. Period.

Conor whatshisname didn't win in a conservative-dominated district by campaigning on gun control.

Nationally, though, since that's what's asked about:
Healthcare.
Decency, cooperation and competence in government.
Economy, including development of jobs and increasing wage levels.

Gun control has large bipartisan support, but it is way below economic worries in importance to voters, and as a wedge issue would drive to the polls the very people we hope will stay home in greater numbers than usual.

The big social issues are actually all areas of majority, bipartisan agreement, but because they've been made into huge partisan wedge issues by inimical forces, hitting them individually divides this majority.

But a "return to decency" and "competence and cooperation in government" have very strong bipartisan support, and those concepts have not yet been twisted into partisan dog whistles. Plus, both cover all the big social issues for a majority of the electorate, guns, immigrant issues, execution-by-police, and much more.

5. EVERYTHING begins with campaign funding.

Absolutely first thing should be a law neutering Citizens United.
