Defending Democracy vs. Defending the Status Quo
it's not like Democrats are working from. the premise that there is a problem with. democracy they have to fix they're. mostly saying the way the system's. working is okay and Donald Trump broke. it and what I hear mostly is an. agreement on a problem that Democrats. don't really speak to right and so just. explain that it would be one thing if. KLA Harris was saying our political. system is not working and Donald Trump. is exploiting that in a poor fashion but. here is what the Democratic party is. going to do to make that system work. better not and be more respons that is.
not what they're saying they are not. working from the premise that democracy. is going well and so when I think they. what I think their attack on Trump. sometimes sounds like is a defense of a. status quo system right not an. acknowledgement of a problem and a pitch. to improve it so it doesn't shock me it. doesn't land for a certain group of. people and it only lands for kind of. moderate Republicans because those are. people who are usually pretty invested. who think the status quo is not all that. bad right that goes back to the poll. when you criticize Trump for being a.
threat to democracy you may reinforce. the idea that you think democracy is. going well for people when that poll. shows it's not you're hearing that too. when you talk to voters yes and all I'm. saying is they it's not like they've. ever tried the opposite to present a com. a different type of vision of how you. would reshape government to work better. for people got it they've never tried. that they don't that's not their effort. really so all I'm saying is I don't like. when the Democracy argument is dismissed. as an effective when the Democracy. argument they're giving is just Donald. Trump is bat they're not presenting a. competing Vision on how it can how a.
system can work better for people and in. my reporting I feel like that's the. thing I hear the most with the type of. Voters they lose and so if Donald Trump. is promising change and that is bull and. China shot you know I can see how he. picks off a couple of those people um. when it feels like the other side is. offering stability but you don't like. what's in the China shot.
