This is after the nationwide No Kings protests.

Over the past decades we have seen the weakening of the middle class. Many people in our society are struggling: They can't afford their groceries or pay the rent. they have no savings. They are going from paycheck to paycheck. They don't really trust either party to make a difference in their lives, but the Democrats are doing worse.

I listened to much of Jeffries speech condemning Trump's budget bill. He did a good job on that. He mentioned some issues outside of the budget such as fixing immigration and securing the border, but he made no economic proposals, even raising the minimum wage. The Democrats and their leaders need to do more than criticize Trump's abuses; they need to put forward an economic agenda.

In the next midterms, we will probably win back the House and maybe the Senate, but will voters be voting.in their minds, for us as the lesser of two evils after they are disgusted with Trump. If we are going to be successful into the future, not just trading elections with the GOP, we need to win the trust of voters on economic issues.
