2. Big ideas such as protecting SS maybe?

Maybe they should just listen to Mario Cuomo's speech at the Dem Convention in 1984 which is posted here in this forum.

Or read some of FDR's Fireside Chats.

Not sure why Democrats need to ask for ideas frankly. Isn't that WHY they are Dems, because of the ideas that Dems so successfully implemented under FDR and which are still providing for the most vulnerable among us, see again, Cuomo's speech, despite the decades-long attempt from Republican and now Third Way, to destroy them?

Maybe they should just play Cuomo's speech at the Convention, but he does trash St. Ronnie and his 'trickle down' policies, so not sure if that would go over well with some in our party today.
