Trumps four pillars program had a 65% approval rating. It was a compromise that could have passed but democrats would have none of it. Democrats do not want to solve the problem.
Dear

Regardless if they want solutions through govt that depend on others,
the fact the Democrats have PROMISED to provide health care for all, and representation for Black, Latino, and other minority populations,
that should be enough to hold the party to pay for its own promises.
Instead of just avoiding or rebutting those claims, and enforcing or justifying failing these promises, why not take the opposite approach and SUPPORT and HOLD Democrats to fulfilling these?
If you never make your kids clean up their rooms, because you assume they don't want to and aren't going to willingly, they never will.
But if they want to have their own rooms, and the responsibility for having a room means cleaning it up, then you can hold them to it in order for them to GET WHAT THEY WANT.
That's what's missing here. The way to work with liberal Democrats and progressive Greens is to support and ENFORCE them paying for their own programs and promises, so they get what they want. Teach them the way and cost of getting those goals achieved.
You don't get kids through school by telling them they'll never make it because they don't really want to go to school.
You teach them the way to get to their goals is to do the work it takes to make that happen, one step at a time.
