The Democratic Party needs to start taking the National Security route with Climate Change awareness

Why not used the Pentagon reports showing millions of refugees, wars popping up all over the place as countries begin fighting over natural resources possibly leading to WWIII? This is stuff they see already happening and accelerating perhaps out of control in a few decades. People NEED to understand what their children and grandchildren could be in for.

Every American needs to see ads with similar info than the video below but put in a way that makes people think of their kids and grandkids.

Most Americans Are Liberal, Even If They Don't Know It

Don’t believe it? Check out these polls.

We are in the midst of what many pundits call the “Trump era,” but in fact most Americans neither like nor agree with President Trump, as Tuesday’s election results strongly suggest. Since June, Trump’s job approval ratings have hovered between 33 percent and 40 percent, according to the Gallup poll. This is lower than any other president’s approval rating at this point in his presidency. Nine months into the “Trump era”, 65 percent of Americans say he has accomplished “not much” or “little or nothing,” according to a Washington Post-ABC News survey.

A national poll conducted in October asked Americans to name the first word that comes to mind when they think of Trump. The most popular words were “strong,” “determined,” and “bold,” followed closely by “arrogant,” “egocentric,” and “narcissist.” The next most popular words were “incompetent” and “unqualified,” with “idiotic,” “ignorant,” and “great” not far behind.

But when it comes to key policy areas, polls show that a vast majority of Americans also depart from Trump by leaning left.
These words—both positive and negative—focus on Trump’s outsized personality, not his policy ideas. But when it comes to key policy areas, polls show that a vast majority of Americans also depart from Trump by leaning left. That lean isn’t generally reflected in Americans’ self-designations, nor is ideological consistency a notable American trait. A new Pew survey found that about one-third of Americans hold both liberal and conservative views, depending on the specific issue. Another Pew report divides Americans into nine categories based on their political and social views, from core conservatives (13 percent) to solid liberals (16 percent). But even those on the extreme right and left ends of the spectrum share some views in common.

TRUMP WANTS A “TRANSPARENT” BORDER WALL TO PREVENT INJURIES FROM FALLING “SACKS OF DRUGS”
That way when cartels “throw the large sacks of drugs over,” Trump says, agents can see them.

Yes, of course Trump actually said this: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/07/trump-transparent-border-wall-falling-drugs-mexico

Why don't grocery stores lobby to stop Trump from cutting back on food stamps?

I would think they would be extremely powerful and it's going to hurt their business and the economy a lot by cutting food stamps.

Walmart??? Where are you on this? Dems should be fucking creative and approach Walmart to put pressure on Trump.
