Sen. Bernie Sanders on what Democrats should focus on ahead of the midterms: “When the American people in poll after poll think that the economy, think that inflation are the two major issues, you cannot ignore those issues.” on.msnbc.com/3SSU4Z2

Bernie is right! And @MSNBC, please stop giving Trump so much coverage. He utters outrageous lies and uses you to keep his face in the news.
We need to put some emphasis on the Republican freaks
Abortion IS an economic issue.

Imagine not being able to deflect this argument. Seriously. The last 3 GOP admins went recession, global economic meltdown, and largest debt and most job losses ever. Republicans shouldn’t be allowed near a lemonade stand. Why is Dem messaging akin to splitting the atom?

You know what's really absurd: Self-described progressive who don't seem to understand that people can hold two ideas in their heads at the same time, and that freedom from forced childbirth and state control of your body IS an economic issue.

Yes. And tell @harrisonjaime and the @DNC to get off their ass and put a communications plan together to do this.

I think most democrats ARE taking the fight to the republicans and are doing a great job. It’s the media who is hell bent on not giving it the coverage it deserves. Instead, they’re into democrat bashing.
