What are some things that Democrats like me believe?

Democrats believe we are stronger when we have an economy that works for everyone—an economy that grows incomes for working people, creates good-paying jobs, and puts a middle-class life within reach for more Americans.

We believe that today’s extreme level of income & wealth inequality—where the majority of the economic gains go to the top 1% & the richest 20 people in our country own more wealth than the bottom 150 million—makes our economy weaker, our communities poorer h our politics poison

And we know that our nation’s long struggle with race is far from over. Race still plays a significant role in determining who gets ahead in America and who gets left behind. We must face that reality and we must fix it.

We believe a good education is a basic right of all Americans, no matter what zip code they live in. We will end the school-to-prison pipeline and build a cradle-to-college pipeline instead, where every child can live up to his or her God-given potential.

We believe in helping Americans balance work and family without fear of punishment or penalty. We believe in at last guaranteeing equal pay for women. And as the party that created Social Security, we believe in protecting every American’s right to retire with dignity.

We believe in protecting civil liberties & guaranteeing civil rights, voting rts, women’s rts, workers’ rights, LGBT rights & rights for people w disabilities. We believe America is still, as Robert Kennedy said, “a great country, an unselfish country & a compassionate country.”

We are proud of our heritage as a nation of immigrants. We know that today’s immigrants are tomorrow’s teachers, doctors, lawyers, government leaders, soldiers, entrepreneurs, activists, PTA members, and pillars of our communities

Dems are the party of inclusion. We know that diversity is not our problem—it is our promise. As Democrats, we respect differences of perspective & belief & pledge to work together to move this country forward, even when we disagree. But we will not agree to racism or misogyny

Corporate profits are at near-record highs, but workers have not shared through rising wages. Democrats want to incentivize companies to share profits w employees on top of wages and pay increases, while targeting the workers and businesses that need profit-sharing the most.

Democrats like me are proud to be the party that created Social Security, one of the nation’s most successful and effective programs. Without Social Security, nearly half of America’s seniors would be living in poverty.

Democrats are fighting every against every GOP effort to cut, privatize, or weaken Social Security, including attempts to raise the retirement age, diminish benefits by cutting cost-of-living adjustments, or reducing earned benefits.

If you don't know what @TheDemocrats like me stand for, you haven't been listening.

Proud Democrat Joe Kennedy at work:

Kamala Harris knows that leadership starts at every age.

That's one reason why @TheDemocrats would never separate children from their families at our borders or cut the CHIP program.

Democrats are working to do what's right for all of us ... all

On every issue who is working for each of us? Democrats!

Democrats are people like Michelle Obama - a human using facts, her integrity, dignity, grace, strength & common sense to lift up others.

Media - press - entertainment news!

Give us more exposure to humans like Michelle Obama. Please, more Democrats

We are hearing 2 lies: 1) Democrats have nothing to offer & 2) Democrats dont get the most votes.

I have described a small part of what we offer & like the WH - we get the most votes.

Democrats are right on the issues & winning the votes!

Watch:

Our unity is feared.

The largest most diverse coalition in history wants equality, better wages, affordable heathcare, better infrastructure & education, social justice, reproductive freedom, a level playing field, environmental protections, gun regs

The Democratic party is us. Don't use your social media to complain about our messaging ... be the messenger.

Tell others about us. Every day devote some social media to telling people about who we are & our plans.
