How about this for a wining message

for the Democratic party. Identify why Americans pay so much more for prescription drugs than other countries. Identify why healthcare costs more in this country and health outcomes are so low. Find a way to implement a healthcare for all system like so many other countries seem to have been able to do. With the affects of money in politics this certainly will be a chore but is possible if we want to. Take the "Make America First" back from trump and make it ours.

“Find a way” = pass a law. The Medicare for all proponents have been advocating for a long time. Don’t have the votes.

That’s why we are Democrats. Most republicans don’t give a rats patootie about anyone other than themselves and many times they don’t care about themselves either. They just voted for a felon who is going to destroy anything for the public good.

But I believe we need to go deeper.

Republicans have been convinced that Dems are evil and they vote R, no matter how bad the candidate is.

Somehow we need to educate them to look at what their representatives DO in office and convince them to consider alternatives.

Heavy lift.

As an aside, you might want to ask Hillary Clinton how that worked for her....
