"Despite recent wins by individual Democratic candidates in elections that focused on the issue of affordability, the Democratic Party is still in trouble. And it's not just the current state of Republican control of the White House and Congress, but also a supermajority of conservatives on the Supreme Court, seemingly hellbent on overturning hard-fought liberties and the Constitution itself. While the Republicans, led by President Trump, are outright denying that prices from food to healthcare continue to rise,"
"I suggest unifying around an unwavering commitment to "Tax the Rich!" and demonstrating how the potential massive windfall would be used to lower prices across groceries, energy, education, childcare, and healthcare. Throughout history, the most successful revolutions have been waged by unifying a population suffering economic and other hardships against the wealthy minority. Whether monarchies, dictatorships, or authoritarian regimes of the past, few have stood the test of time"
The Democratic Party faces political peril despite some candidate wins focused on affordability, due to Republican control of the White House and Congress and a conservative Supreme Court majority threatening liberties. Republicans are denying rising prices for essentials while Democrats have emphasized unaffordability but often lack concrete, enacted price-reduction policies. A unified commitment to taxing the wealthy could produce a substantial revenue windfall earmarked to lower costs across groceries, energy, education, childcare, and healthcare. Historical patterns show broad popular unity against a wealthy minority can drive major change, and contemporary progressive movements are rallying around that message to mobilize voters.
