What do we do now? How do we convert Trump voters? What is the plan going forward? [View all]

Most of America agrees with most of the views Democrats hold. For some reason, the messaging screws it all up.

Only about half of Americans voted and over half of the ones that did voted for Hillary.

We need to ignore the Trump voters and focus on the other 75% of the country.

We need to energize America with stronger and more inclusive messages.

These messages should come from many places and with many different focuses. The basic idea is... this is your government. Now, let's own it.

The next two years should be focused on the local and state level. If people experience positive change locally, they will become believers and be motivated to support change nationally.

We have 75% of America to work with.
