The Democrat that is a real Democrat, the Democrat that says, ‘Look, you’re a working-class citizen, and I respect you. I’m going to do everything in my power to protect you. I’m going to do everything in my power to fight to make sure you have a seat at the table.’ This is the blueprint. This is the blueprint for how we win across the United States of America. Everywhere. This is how you win in Middle America. It’s talking about picking the people that can relate to the people. Don’t talk about it. Be about it. Stand up for the working-class citizens. Stand up for our sick. Stand up for our veterans. Stand up for the elderly. Protect things like Social Security. Stop allowing people to stick their hands in the cookie jar. Create opportunities for people who live in poverty to elevate themselves out of poverty with a hand up, not a handout. That’s what being a Democrat is!
