Medicare For All & a $15/hr federal minimum wage are not socialism. They’re social justice. They promote the general welfare for all people, and any Black or white person who says they’re socialism is wrong.
If Democrats truly presented what these policies would do for the American people, esp. for poor & low-income ppl, they can win on these policies. $15/hr minimum won in FL, even as Biden/Harris lost there.
If Dems aggressively fund voter turnout, stop playing defense & play offense instead, they can win even in the so-called "solid South," as well as all over the country.
The problem is too many so-called “centrist” Democrats in Congress let their industry funders dictate their position rather than the needs of the people.
Some have said Democrats will lose in Georgia if they run on a progressive agenda. The truth is they will lose if they don’t have a massive turnout of poor & low-income Georgians inspired to vote because they know their vote will change their lives.
Democrats don’t win by being "Republican light." They win by running on an agenda of transformation that is not afraid to be bold & committed to establishing justice for all.
