...and specifically in this way:
Democrats know how to build the best infrastructure to support the PEOPLES ECONOMY. They are way ahead on developing plans for a REGENERATIVE INFRASTRUCTURE which not only juices participation in free enterprise by the majority, but does it in a sustainable fashion.
Only the smarter party can do this. Its not elitism, its wisdom.
The Republicans on the other hand, serve the short term interest of millionaires and billionaires and deny the planet is being choked by SUVs and environmental deregulation.
