We need to get people to see that the reason that this is such a "great country" is only because of liberal policies spearheaded by the Roosevelt Administration and others.

We have to keep pushing back against the constant propaganda of the right wing and corporatist Democrats. The title "liberal" needs to become something to be proud of again. I also think that changing the way people view the word "socialism" will be key. The people support us, but they don't realize it, and that's what we most need to change. If we make it so that the right can't use those words for their narrative, they lose the power and we gain it.
