[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again -- based on the Michigan Dems comments in the article, I get the sense that there hasn't been any movement to come together.  Their message seems to be no one is listening.  It is as frustrating as the lack of bipartisanship in this country.

Like this?

[i]If the Democratic Party doesn't come up with a set of principles and policies that create opportunity for people who haven't had it, I think a third party is going to emerge.

First of all I hear a LOT about Dems supporting higher minimum wages, free college, etc.  But all that is rather academic when they have no control over any branch of the federal govt. People ARE doing things in states, from Nevada to New York.   Meanwhile the rule of law is under attack, so it seems pretty reasonable to focus on that.  And on fighting what is being done at the federal level to go backwards - on health care, on financial regs, etc.

So, again, I am not sure of what they want, and whom they are addressing.  They want Pelosi to drop focus on defending the republic and create a plan for the auto industry?

OTOH this probably sounds good in Michigan, so more power to them.

but congresspeople are going to represent their own regions interests as they always have.   Congressional leadership is going to balance.  A national policy will wait for 2020 in all likelihood.  [/quote]

Yes, all of this.[/quote]
