DEMOCRATS CAN WIN 2020

The economy was threadbare at best prior to the pandemic due mainly to policies that benefited republican donors infinitely more than to the working class in this country. When you have 42 million people in poverty prior to a pandemic, something is not kosher. Trump, in his finite wisdom, thinks the stock market is the economy. It's only one of several barometers determining a portion of the economy. 
 
IMO, the economy is only properly functioning when democracy reaches into all aspects of society. Fair wages, a diminution of CEO pay in favor of workers' benefits, incentives for corporations who follow this logic and improvement of working conditions would improve and equalize the economy. This can be accomplished if Democrats, who famously care about logic, an economy that works for everyone (bubble up as opposed to the BS of trickle-down), control the House, the Senate and the presidency. 
 
We got a lot done under Obama's first year, but republicans were so incensed by a black man holding the office, they formed the racist teabagger...er...tea party movement (akin to a loose bowel movement), which has metastasized since Obama left into the trumpist movement (akin to explosive diarrhea) that is so toxic, people are regarding science as a taboo. Extremes don't help a society survive, whether it be left or right. Democrats have become more progressive, which is a good thing, but it has been tempered by logical thinking. Carville as opposed to AOC if you want an analogy. We have to win on a massive scale, inviting all stripes to defeat the COVIDIOT IN CHEAP. I think we will, if we are allowed a fair election process. That said, it's an uphill battle. Polls be damned, we must proceed as if Biden is trailing the trump. 
 
I believe in my fellow democrats and that we can do it. I've been a strong progressive Democrat since 1975 when I turned 18. I will never be otherwise. LET'S ORGANIZE, MOBILIZE AND WIN!
