I just think resources would be better focused on establishing a party base/influence in the other areas. See what's happened in Virginia the past ten years.
mmm nah, she really didn't tho. she had a few blurbs about those issues buried within a set of platform bullet points/summaries on her website that she kept telling everyone to go check out. obviously most of america is lazy and apathetic, politically speaking, so ain't nobody going to that stupid website and reading all that ****.
campaigning on healthcare, income inequality, wage stagnation, job creation, etc is a winning play- you just don't see enough dems doing it because they don't really want to see progressive changes in those areas (it would take power out of the hands of "centrists" who dominate the party structure).
