Democrats - focus on your message to voters

Democrats - I know you mean well, but you folks are kind of all over the map with your messaging. I know you don't like Trump's policies, but aside from complaining about everything Trump, I don't hear many solutions from the left wing regarding the mess on our southern border, paying down the national debt, foreign policy, fixing our infrastructure etc. The green new deal is a start, but it's not enough. You folks have a golden opportunity to make some major gains in 2020, but can't just be anti Trump, you have to have a solid message to sell to the voters, and right now you don't have one.

do you ever read stuff? because you always come across as not having much of a clue


Bernie Sanders is all over the place? How about Warren?

"the mess on our southern border,"
there is no "mess" on the southern border, it's just something Trump has made up.

"paying down the national debt"
that is not a priority

"foreign policy, fixing our infrastructure"
all things Sanders and Warren has been clear on

"right now you don't have one."
you have more than a year to educate yourself

What do you think "the mess on our southern border" is? And how can the Democrats have "not many solutions" on the debt when the Obama administration was on track to have a balanced budget by 2020?

I disagree. Universal healthcare for all as the rest of the world has; is an across the board agreed upon Democratic message. Healthcare costs are destroying our country. Great message!

LIAR!
If you're going by percentage wise you are way off. If you're going by dollar wise; Trump, Reagan, Bush 1, and Bush 2, far exceed Obama's debt incurred. Try again liar; and let's not forget that the debt Obama incurred was getting us out of the recession that Republican Bush 2 put us in; and the two wars he inherited.

"The Top Five Contributors by Percent
Franklin D. Roosevelt: Percentage-wise, President Roosevelt increased the debt by the largest amount. Although he only added $236 billion, this was a 1,048 percent increase from the $23 billion debt level left by President Herbert Hoover.

Of course, the Great Depression took an enormous bite out of revenues. The New Deal cost billions. But FDR's major contribution to the debt was World War II spending. He added $209 billion to the debt between 1942 and 1945."

"Woodrow Wilson: President Wilson was the second-largest contributor to the debt, percentage-wise. He added $21 billion, which was a 727 percent increase over the $2.9 billion debt of his predecessor. Wilson had to pay for World War I. During his presidency, the Second Liberty Bond Act gave Congress the right to adopt the national debt ceiling."

"Ronald Reagan: President Reagan increased the debt by 186 percent. Reaganomics added $1.86 trillion. Reagan's brand of supply-side economics didn't grow the economy enough to offset the lost revenue from its tax cuts. That was partly because Reagan increased the defense budget by 35 percent."

"George W. Bush: President Bush added $5.849 trillion, the second-greatest dollar amount. It was the fourth-largest percentage increase. Bush increased the debt by 101 percent from where it started at $5.8 trillion on September 30, 2001. That's the end of FY 2001, which was President Clinton's last budget.

Bush launched the War on Terror in response to the 9/11 attacks. The War on Terror included two wars. The War in Afghanistan cost $1.1 trillion and the Iraq War cost $1 trillion. They increased military spending to record levels of $600 billion to $800 billion a year.

President Bush also responded to the 2001 recession by passing the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act and the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act. He approved a $700 billion bailout package for banks to combat the 2008 global financial crisis. Both Presidents Bush and Obama had to contend with higher mandatory spending for Social Security and Medicare."

"Barack Obama: Under President Obama, the national debt grew the most dollar-wise. He added $8.588 trillion. This 74 percent increase was the fifth-largest. Obama's budgets included the economic stimulus package. It added $831 billion by cutting taxes, extending unemployment benefits, and funding public works projects.

The Obama tax cuts added $858 billion to the debt in two years. Obama's budget increased defense spending to between $700 billion and $800 billion a year. Federal income was down, thanks to lower tax receipts from the 2008 financial crisis. He also sponsored the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. It was designed to reduce the debt by $143 billion over 10 years. But these savings didn't show up until the later years."

Let me tell you people Who Trump is. Do you remember little rocket man, and ‘we will annihilate you’? “ Well since then he has met with Kim Jong-un and they are tight. Will you just refuse to agree and realize that Trump is the greatest negotiator, he knows exactly what he is doing. When he said fire and fury, do you think those are American phrases? No he was speaking in the Korean language and scared them . Hey, y’all stick with Trump....and me, of course.

"Fire and Fury" is a phrase Truman made up to imply nuclear devastation. It is absolutely an American phrase you fool.
