For the most part Leftists/Dems love politics. Winning elections is the only they're good at. That and being grifters.
Thus the career politicians like Kam and Tampon Tim. They don't believe their bullshit either but governing isn't the name of the game.
Only winning the election. Conservatives/Republicans put up with politics and politicians and would like to be rid of them if they wouldn't steal everything but the kitchen sink if you turn your back on them.
Lets do a little test here......what are the "inspiring solutions" of which you speak, that have been forth by the Harris/Walz team? What plans, specifically, have they put forth that will make society better, safer, and happier? Abort baby abort? If need be, you can study Kam's answer to the question of what Harris plans to do on her 1st day in office for inspiration.
Put simply, they want to strengthen the middle class by identifying and removing the barriers that keep them stressed and anxious.
They believe in lifting up and utilizing the leveraging might of Worker Unions by stating and understanding how important a Union is in negotiating value. That whole capitalism thing where you let the market figure out a workers value. We all know that a union worker has much more strength and leverage for its value in negotiating than a single isolated worker. I mean we do everything we can to bail out and fiscally support corporations that maybe we should turn some concern and care towards the citizens who are crucial for generating those corporate revenues?
They want drive a more affordable healthcare system as again, we are the only major advanced country that doesn't have an affordable system. Actually I believe we have the most expensive from health care to medicine cost. That would help relieve a financial barrier for everyone, but particularly the middle class.
So yeah, keep staying economically friendly and strong but acknowledge that middle class and marginalized groups aren't living the American dream these days.
Actually we've historically entered another gilded age. Not saying that's wrong but the last time we had that level of class difference led to probably the most miserable living time in our history. Progressives like to point out that it was post Gilded Age, post depression that kick started our economic dominance.
Another example is I'm personally not a big proponent of raising corporate taxes but, I do believe that they shouldn't be lower than personal rates of those getting a paycheck. During Eisenhower the corporate rate was crazy high, like almost 50% I think. The argument for that high rate was it rocket fueled legit trickle down theory. It motivated corporations to reduce their overall revenue by investing and spending in their business which meant more jobs, more factories, more spending to lower that revenue claim that was going to be taxed. It motivated businesses to have control on how to invest their revenues vs just giving it to the government.
Trickle down came with the lowering of rates. In that case it removed the initiative to spend the revenue and led to more pocketing.
The corporate rate is so low these days that it's a strategy for business owners, particularly the gilded owners to pay themselves a low claimed salary but then they are really paying a much lower corporate rate vs the rate that that business paid it's workers. Again not saying to jack up the corporate rate like during Eisenhower's administration but, being so low that gilded billionaires are using it to pay them more in their pockets while paying less in taxes and tax rate compared to middle class.
I wish the Dems would communicate that better vs the tactic of screaming billionaires don't pay taxes like you do which technically is true when it comes to tax rate but, identifying why billionaires are giving themselves their own low salaries to take advantage of the low corporate rate is much more effective at getting consensus.
Anyway, curious what are the problems you think the right is identifying and solving that the dens aren't?
FYI Dems do have Border solutions and interest. Biden had a hard on for the border fix to be bipartisan and codified through Congress. Killing migrants as they come here is not a viable solution for Dems but we need to figure this out because as (and this is a Dem identified event) the earth gets hotter it's likely going to lead to much more immigration movements. For example the thought is there are locations in the sun belt and mexico that are just a couple Celsius increases from being inhospitable which is going to lead to groups of people moving north.
