I think that is what they are trying to do but they box themselves in at times
They run on high social programs, taxing the rich.
They run on debt-free tuition for colleges but not necessarily for vocational schools.
They run on a $15 minimum wage. Minimum wage jobs should not be a career, but a stepping stone. With a minimum wage that high, more of those jobs get eliminated.
They are being held hostage by the Republicans on DACA. They have to cut bait at some point.
Plus other issues. I understand that the Democrats mean well and should be the alternative to the GOP at this time. But they do back themselves into a corner. Double downing on the Helsinki Summit or Sarah Jeong does not help.
