Working class voters oppose the GOP bill, think it overwhelmingly hurts them while helping the rich, and find messages about health care impacts and tax unfairness most convincing.
I just read the headlines in the NYT that the party is attempting to draft its own 'Project 2029'; this is welcomed news. I'm also sure that it will have a better branded name.
The effort will be tough but I know that you'll find a balance -- because you have to. I wish that I were there to help hammer it out but I know that you'll achieve your ends. Good luck!
If I'm reading your research correctly, these messages and raising of awareness move voters only about 5 or 6%. That may be enough to bring the house back into the Democrats hands. It's probably not enough to flip the senate. More importantly, again the Democrats are only attacking Republican ideas and offering none of their own. If the Democrats want to more than just eke out a victory even in the 2028 presidential election, we need a strategy for building an enduring majority. That means developing an agenda and a message that resonates with not just 51% but 60 to 65% of Americans. I see no evidence of that and no courage to do it.
