Hi Cactus Flower,

you have some really solid ideas.

the one I disagree with, is in how its framed.

"Plus - perhaps a less aggressive approach to identity politics. Don't be intolerant of sincerely held conservative morals."

Its the republicans who try to force their morals on others. Look at how they ALWAYS want to de-fund Planned Parenthood, not allow insurance companies to cover birth control, meanwhile they cover Viagra...!
Until recently, pushed aversion therapy for gays.
They push homeschooling & or charter schools, thus depleting the public school system.

Live & let live, for both sides, as long as 'you' don't try to pass laws to force 'your' morals on others.

For Democrats, in my view, less is more.

On economics, the Republicans seem to believe that lowering taxes increases revenue and leaves people with more money in their pocket which creates a more vibrant economy.

What the Democrats need to do is to argue for a sort of economic vibrancy created at the sweet spot between government and private enterprise. A sweet spot which doesn't generate larger deficits or offload risk from Wall Street onto the Treasury. One that allows the government to support innovation and training, and to protect the market against bad actors in order to promote operational integrity, without picking winners and losers.

To generate fair market values you need a fair market. It's a fair market which generates growth and innovation. Let the market do its slice.

Plus - perhaps a less aggressive approach to identity politics. Don't be intolerant of sincerely held conservative morals.
