Abdul El-Sayed: Democrats Don’t Win Seats Too Often ‘Because We Offer Milquetoast Corporate Talking Points’

EXCERPT:

EL-SAYED: “You‘re right. And the reason we don‘t win seats too often is because we offer milquetoast corporate talking points about what we can‘t have and shouldn‘t fight for. I believe we can have Medicare for All. I wrote a whole book on how to do it. I know we can do it if we‘re willing to build the kind of politics, the kind of coalition that gets us there, but we‘re not going to get there, not talking about what we need to actually deliver for folks. I think campaigns are winning across the country because we have bold views on what can actually happen when we‘re willing to fight for them. And I think Democrats could learn a broader lesson about what we‘re learning here. I‘m a proud Democrat. I love my party. I just want my party to actually focus on the things that real voters actually need in their lives.”
