I'm trying to think of a downside to the Democratic Party crumbling and being replaced with the DSA or some equivalent

and all I can come up with is "the GOP will win a lot in the interim period while votes are split" but the thing is they're already winning a lot anyway

so y'know what, gently caress it, tear it down, hail satan

putting better wages last also makes it sound like better skills is the gatekeeper for better jobs, which is the gatekeeper for better wages.

real smart messaging.

"your life is only gonna get better if you dump a million dollars on college haha lol"

That's the order because that is the message. That you only deserve to have good wages if you had the opportunity and luck to be trained in a skill that is currently desired in your geographic area. Also make sure to ignore the fact that neo-liberal policies mean it could be sent to another country on a moments notice at any point in time and your good job that you trained for could disappear overnight.

Remember when Trump yelled JOBS for a year and Hillary responded by saying "No, we don't just need more jobs, we need more good jobs" :smug:???

It's like that only worse.

Don't put any loving qualifiers on your slogans you dumb motherfuckers. Promise jobs and deliver, that's it. And Medicare for All while you're at it you loving pigheaded ghouls.

I lost to you once, monster. I shall not lose again! Die now, that our future can live!

quote:

Better skills in our people and communities — through innovative K-12 education, affordable college, apprenticeships, job training, immigration — will make us more competitive in a world where talent is now the most precious resource. We need to double down on retraining people whose jobs are destroyed by shifts in trade. And when the main economic disruptor is not trade but technological advances, better skills are the most certain way for people and communities to keep up and get ahead. Finally, better skills are key to new waves of innovation that maintain our creative edge.

no listen, that schooling is going to be offset by tax credits which could help pay up to 20% of your tuition! it's means tested however so if you are barely able to feed your family you do not qualify

I just thought of a new slogan, check this out: "America Is Already Great!". I think it plays off the MAGA slogan in a clever way and reaches out to all the voters that think everything is actually not that bad and gets them onboard.
