david robertsI will keep repeating this until I die: the Democrats had the opportunity to put their entire agenda into a legislative proposal & the result was the original Build Back Better act. If you want to know what the real Democratic agenda is, no need to speculate -- it's on paper.
Nothing "woke," nothing about CRT in schools or drag shows, just a long series of proposals to improve child & elder care, improve wages & working conditions, improve health care, & accelerate the growth of domestic clean-energy industries. Meat & potatoes.
And yet! The phantom "Democrat agenda" that RW media ascribes to Democrats gets *more discussion* in media than the real one. Average news consumers, if asked to describe that agenda, will think vaguely of trans people in HS sports or cancelling offensive comedians.
This is a failure of the MSM, especially cable news. It's a failure of the Democratic Party to build an effective communications machine. But above all it's a triumph of RW propaganda -- perhaps its most important triumph. They really don't want voters to know what Dems will do.
