Democrats national message for the midterms (#3416)

     We know that just being anti trump isn't going to be enough to sway voters to come out and vote. But don't get me wrong here, it will be a significant factor. But being anti trump and anti republican will only get us so far. We need to let everyone know what we democrats stand for. Like increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage. Too often too much there are those who struggle with one two and three jobs just to keep even when the idea of getting ahead is beyond them. Working for $7.25 and hour as the national minimum wage is currently will only secure that poverty will be a way of life and not a pathway toward anything resembling a middle class status.
     Another policy we advocate for is improving health care so that more are covered with more efficient spending to that end. Advancing women's rights and improving education for our children is as well a high priority. Removing weapons that resemble military usage from our streets and restricting ownership from those whose mental instability can be measured. What I hope more than most things to be done is to remove private money from our politics. We need to elect our best most brightest folks to public office, not just those who can afford to run. In that way we get to elect our representatives based upon their ideas for our democracy and our electorate.
     Eliminating the albatross of student debt from our children and their parents would go a long way toward our nation revitalizing it's innovative and creative paradigm. Making all public college free of tuition is an investment in the real strength of our national identity, our ability to reason and conclude on our own without hindrance. There are many more economic and social values we would protect and create in order to keep our equality of opportunity and our right to be free as who we are as a person. We democrats are the party of all the people and highlighting our foundation to improve lives instead of punishing them like republicans do will only help us build that blue wave we all are counting on to end the draconian reign of the conman trump and his lackey republican enablers.
