Progressive Change Campaign Committee

I got the following in an email today from the PCCC. It's pretty much the same diagnosis with pretty much the same remedies as I've been posting lately. I'll copy some of it below. If you want to join their campaign then go here.

"Donald Trump won the Rust Belt by stoking the economic and social anxiety that so many people feel in their lives. People are fed up with bad wages, too much debt, and child care costs through the roof. They are tired of watching their jobs disappear because of bad trade deals. They know that something is wrong when a corporation can break laws and destroy livelihoods and get away with it.
And Donald Trump spoke to that. Some of his TV ads could have been run by Bernie Sanders -- bashing the 'political establishment' that 'brought about the destruction of our factories and jobs.'

"Democrats must follow the lead of Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, going beyond issue positions and offering a systemic critique of the rigged economy. Democrats must start fighting for working families with an authentic understanding of how we got here -- and a willingness to take on Wall Street and corporate donors to get us out.

"It's time for new leadership of the Democratic Party -- younger, more diverse, and more ideological -- that is hungry to do things differently, like leading a movement instead of dragging people to the polls. Democrats will lose, over and over, until they have a willingness to take on corporate power in a very real and authentic way."
