The enemy of the people are the “fat cats”… who cheat the system by not paying taxes and bribing their way through our governmental controls through campaign contributions and lobbyists. The guys who are benefiting from this pain of the little guy is always a good target for demonization
It's interesting what was written. I'd like to see it fleshed out more before I believe it is the proper approach but it certainly is better than what Democrats do now. We need a Democratic media ecosystem that rivals that of the RW. News won't travel as fast as- lies and negatively travel many times faster - but having more of the country not see Democrats as the devil would help. And we need to go back to our progressive roots: strong unions, a living wage, universal health care, "limited" but legalized abortion. Policies that help working people live better.
You are correct that the media ecosystem should be a high priority. I watched as the Right sowed distrust of the “mainstream media” for decades, while Democrats stood by assuming newspapers and journalists would defend themselves. Instead, news media prostrated itself in the hope that conservatives would finally stop accusing them of bias. Which, of course, the Right never did.
We just watched a campaign season during which the news media constantly harangued Kamala Harris to explain her policy positions in detail, but that shrugged when J.D. Vance admitted on national television that the Trump campaign made up stories to get the media to focus on the issues that helped the campaign.
