I agree it's what's needed, but dems put off presenting bold ideas cuz they don't have the majorities to pass the legislation, & they can't get the majorities because they fear alienating the public by suggesting bold ideas. That's my take on it anyway. As a party, they need to shirk off their fear. I have a lot of hope in the younger gen dems.
