The Democratic party need to message better on one key idea

I think the only way the Democratic party can really gain traction moving forward at an accelerated rate is if they are able to simplify the differences between the U.S. economy and the U.S stock market. If they were able to message that the U.S. economy = workers and consumers..... compared to U.S. stock market = investors, maybe the Republican grip on their mantra that entails, tax cuts for the rich helps U.S. economy, would pretty much be diminished in the public's eye.

I know it isn't as simple as that and there is synergy between the U.S. economy and the stock market as the relationship is symbiotic in some ways. But still, often for people in the general public to understand sometimes you have to simplify it that much.

I want to see Democrats be more aggressive in attacking these platitudes and slogans, because as we all know this is how the Republican party is still in a somewhat united front despite some fractures showing.

Remember when Bush stated: We don't want to tax the job creators?
It sounded good, but did nothing to help working people.
