At a minimum, could we please be honest about what and who we are fighting?

88. Since we just found out that many Americans have no idea what oligarchy is, we need to come up

with the language that actually reaches people. If we use "oligarch," define it. Same with "fascist."

Dems would do better spending their time laying the foundation for blame. As the out of power party, that's their role now.
* “Corruption,"
* “looting the middle class to feed the rich and corporations,"
* “curtailing our American freedoms" should all be pillars

The Villains

* greedy billionaires and their enablers are the villains
* Elon bought himself a presidency
* scheming rich person, a fat cat (or corporate power) that
* uses their power, resources, and influence to manipulate systems for personal gain, often at the expense of fairness, justice, or the well-being of others.


The Heroes

* The heroes in this story will be those who protect democracy by serving the people and halting the hostile billionaire takeover of our government.

Offer a Positive Vision

Don't just frame the problem – frame solutions, too. Pair the problem with a positive vision.
* Propose major changes to ensure fair taxes, protect workers' rights, break up monopolies, and prevent billionaires from buying off the government.
 
* Paint a picture of a prosperous society where wealth serves everyone, not just a chosen few. Use aspirational language:
* "We can build a country where every family gets a fair shake." Give people a better choice.
