White House officials ramp up new tax cut talks, as Trump seeks sharp contrast with 2020 Democrats

23. I believe it

That's why we have to narrate that conversation. Not let Republicans do it for us.

That's why we can't be denying it, or not be on the same page. We have some candidates simply not being in favor at all of new program spending, and prefer to tag along with Republicans myth of trickle down tax cuts. Some candidates promising program spending, but refuse to admit taxes are a part of it, or thirdly, candidates that admit it will cost something, but stress the benefits being worth the burden.

I think that the progressives in the party have already tried to rally around the 'third way' approach for the last couple of decades. Maybe its time to try things from the other angle. If all Democrats including Pelosi, and candates like Biden, would get behind medicare-for-all, and we speak as one voice, voters would respect that and be open to it. We may not win with just the "at least we are not Trump" or "vote for us and we'll go back to how things were before Trump" strategy. But with the division about it in our party, it gives rise to these kinds of phony ads by Republicans.
