Reply #134: And reaching them does not mean "becoming a left-wing radical" [View All]

It means indicating that we know what their problems are and have easily explainable solutions.

Housing, health care, and workers' rights are three areas where the Dems could get the attention of the non-voters.

Their apathy comes from decades of listening to politicians who say nothing that is relevant to their lives. They see the fundamentalist wackos and apologists for the robber barons on one hand, and the limousine liberals with their contempt for the working class and their advocacy of corporate "free" trade on the other, and there's nothing in it for them.
