So back in 2016 when Bernie got shafted, and Dems stupid enough to not make him the VP, my response was that the democratic party needed to go twice as far to the left as the reps had gone right. As time goes on I'm convinced that that was the correct strategy. Offer them the narrative that billionaires are screwing us. we all deserve better. we deserve health care. we deserve to have comfortable and happy retirements starting at 50.

We're going to regulate social media like broadcast media. We will fine and tax these parasites into submission. They will provide a service that is valuable to the American people or they will cease to exist.

By law reverse the Dodd-Frank ruling and make it so that anyone accepting donations from a foreign nation is committing an act of treason, and that all who aided in abetted the transaction in any way shape or form are also guilty.

Give the right to vote in a presidential election to the people of Washington DC.

Leave all medical decisions up to patients and their physicians and out of the hands of government.

Ban for profit entities from running medical institutions or from administrating insurance companies.

We will make a clear and transparent path to citizenship for all immigrants that pass screenings and meet requirements. This path will be discussed with and built in part with business leaders and local governments to ensure that it benefits everyone.

That is how the Democrats could have galvanized and won and I think the shame is that they don't want to give up the money that's going to come along with that.

Diminished meaning "the centrists pushed them out and now plan to roll over for fascism"

Only in their worst nightmares.
