Only because you're not listening. Democratic message:

Medicare For All
Expansion of free K-12 education to include free public college and trade schools
Living wages, so working people can support themselves

It's coherent, powerful, and appeals to the working class who feel left out of Trump's "country club prosperity."

Speaking as a political strategy, that message is not coming through because of the hate-filled rhetoric of resistance and the social warrior language.

If the Democrats really want to achieve things, they would be wise to quiet down the anti-Trump rhetoric and focus on the things they can win. If they were to win back Congress, they could work with President Trump and achieve some of the things they say they want, such as mandated PTO and maternity leave.

There is no doubt in my mind that President Trump would get on board with those things as well as Medicare for all.

It's a powerful ad and indicative of the current state of the left in the USA. I'm sure the Left will come up with powerful ads which will no doubt be based on a false foundation that the media has made up.

And I am not a friend to the left but the fact that you think that because one side is disgusting, your side must the righteous is a bit nonsensical. Trump supporters have been just as vulgar. What in the hell ever happened to common decency?

This is a conservative

What does he have to do with our elections, he's not even an American?

Thanks for sharing.

Great, keep putting down Trump supporters and see how much you turn people off like the DMC is doing. More support for Trump.

Yep, The Dems would never show this since it was Trump that got Kim to the table for peace talks when no other president could do that. Another win for Trump.

Thanks for sharing, OP. The ad is a fair representation of the radical left.

That was Hillary's message but we all know it huge taxes to pay for it. Duh. Trump is jobs, jobs and more jobs which means prosperity. Like old Bill said, "It's the economy, stupid."

Talking Trumplings love to dish it out. Can't take a teaspoon in return. Who are the snowflakes?

It's a good thing your leader tRump doesn't spend his days putting down anyone and everyone who isn't in lockstep. And his Trumplings cheer him on and parrot his words with relish.

But now that a few of his inner circle have been heckled, he demands civility.

tRump wanting civility is like swine in a mud wallow calling for hygiene.

Carry on.
