Democratic message? We're for the little guy!

Here’s a message to pound again and again: we’re for the little guy!

Which means we’ve got to be for the little guy. Me, for instance. You.

I used to be a middle class guy. Lots of us are in the same boat. But lately we’re just hanging on.

Which makes us fodder for a populist message

Unfortunately, tfg was the last guy to go there. It worked. His handlers took the message from FDR, the last American populist who harnessed that energy, slightly repurposed it, then sold it to the disgruntled.

FDR called out the powers that be, bankers, oil barrons, steel , transportation barron’s. He called them enemies of the little guy. Every little guy who heard that knew was telling their truth, knew that he understood and was validating their reality.

All Biden and company need to do is stand for the little guy and point to/attack the big guy.

Less than 1% of Americans possess 90% of the wealth. Say it again and again. That imbalance is visceral. People get it!

FDR called out the oil companies and the oligarchs of the time. The little guy rallied to him

Should Biden follow FDRs blueprint we win. Follow some moderate path and we get our asses kicked by the rights ass kicking brand of populism.
