8. The environment is a great wedge issue for Democrats.

Democrats need to stop being so chickenshit about getting painted as tree-hugging extremists. Republicans have all sorts of wedge issues they use to get the votes of white middle class voters. The environment is our wedge issue and we should talk about it more often in ways that don't involve the loss of jobs. It even has appeal in rural areas like Ogle county.
