Democrats need to talk to the nation, not just to Democrats. [View all]

It is my opinion that Democrats have chosen to be the opposing Party, rather than the uniting Party.

How do they change that?

First of all, we need to recognize that not all Republican voters are aware of the damage Trump and his regime are doing to our country and to them personally.

They need to understand that natural disasters hit them just as often, or moreso, than it hits those of the opposing Party. The Trump regime has more or less done away with FEMA and the National weather service, which warns us of incoming disasters and assists in surviving after they happen. They are giving tax breaks to the wealthy at the expense of the poor and needy. They already have it all. How much more do they need?

Perhaps, most importantly, they are taking away the freedoms guaranteed by our Constitution and our Bill or Rights from all Americans. It is not just Democrats that will lose to the Trump regime. It is all of us.

In my opinion, the Democratic Party's message should be directed at all Americans, especially those in the Republican Party. If they are hellbent in jumping off the bridge, they need to know how deep the water is?
