.@RashidaTlaib responds to attacks on progressive Democrats: "Look I want to feed the poor. I want to make sure we are not picking corporations over people. I want to make sure that we have equity in education funding in our school system...Nothing's going to change."

Spanberger is absolutely clueless! They lost all the seats for not having a message that inspires people. For not having the guts to stand for something that actually helps and benefits the people. Don't blame Progressives for your lack of understanding peoples needs.

Right. She avoided mentioning the term "socialism" in a minute-long answer. Correct approach. What Spanberger was calling for. Feeding the poor, prioritizing people over corporations, fair funding for school systems. Every Dem agrees with that.

That needs to be the very strong message in Fox and other media which Trump's base will see to cool things down. That and your life won't change, we won't take your guns. Don't worry. As I see talking to Republican voters getting their toys...sorry guns taken away is the fear.

A lot of Americans want to be free to be selfish. That is why they associate Progressives with collectivistic societies that are run by Marxist dictators. Why can鈥榯 America be more collectivistic and still prioritize individual鈥檚 inalienable rights?

I feel like it was clear Spanberger was criticizing the messaging, not any particular people. "Defund the police" was always going to hurt. "Democratic socialism"? Love the policies, but low-info voters will hear "socialism" and run away. Dems need their own Frank Luntz.

If you are attacking progressives perhaps the question should be, what kind of person would be against any of these things? Congrats on your win & Thank you @RashidaTlaib for making it plain.
