The only way we can build an effective progressive movement and get folks jazzed up again is Obama level enthusiasm. I think abundance brings that.

Only talking about protecting minimum wage and benefits, that should be the default. What’s beyond that? That’s dull.

Like the democrats for too long (especially far left) have talked about minim wage and benefits. Thats it! Not at all about things beyond that like a brighter, more optimistic future. Building wealth, living out your dreams, hell having time and money for a vacation, etc.

If your only promise is benefits and minimum wage—guess what, you’re still poor and probably working a job you don’t want. At its worst, you’re just pushing for Soviet Russia. Fuck that

Not on the left, but I agree that "abundance agenda" seems to be the only proactive vision of the future coming from the Democratic party.

The rest is either reflexively defensive ("NOT that", ok but then what?), or the tattered remains of the self-defeating Identitarianism of the past ~5-7 years.
