Jemima Kelly notes:
“… the Democrats urgently need to present a positive vision of their values and ideas. Rather than a constant stream of tedious Trump-bashing, they must say what it is that they would do differently — particularly when they are up against a man who knows how to communicate his message so powerfully.
“Orange man bad” isn’t working. The Democrats need to present a serious alternative to Maga. Wearing matching colours and awkwardly uttering expletives to camera doesn’t, in fact, meet the seriousness of the political moment”.
