1. I think the analysis of our chance in 2018 and 2020 was spot on.

I have two issues with the OP.

1 - All of the issues that the author suggests that we communicate to the people has been boiler plate Democratic messaging for awhile. The people chose to ignored it. The author claims that Democrats waste their time trying to educate voters just to compile a list off issues of which he suggests we educate voters on.

2 - This fascination with reaching out to the Trump voter frustrates me. 46% of eligible voters DID NOT VOTE IN 2016. They should be our target. Trump acted like a hateful madman on the campaign trail for 18 months. In my opinion, investing precious time and resources turning those voters when the non-voters dwarf the Trump voters in numbers makes absolutely no sense to me.
