“The short-term strategy is, win the House of Representatives,” stated the former president, garnering applause. “Because that’s going to be the circuit breaker that will give us control of one major component of the federal government. With that as a bulwark, we’re now able to block some of the worst impulses that are coming out of this White House.”

The former president laid out a two-pronged strategy for Democrats: to reclaim a House majority next year, and to work on honing the party’s messaging in the coming years.

“Long term, let’s tell a story, a better story about who we are as Americans and what we share,” Obama said, according to excerpts shared with CBS News. “We have to tell the story that makes people who feel outside that process, we’ve got to bring them back in.”

    There isn’t one, precisely because dnc does not do anything to grow people. Especially ones that would challenge the status quo.

    Now we’re onboard with changing them? Pick

    Funny keep seeing dnc say they only need former republican voters not anyone else. Wild they are losing support

          Here’s a perfect example of losing another election. Since we only agree on 90% of all issues that continues to make so much sense.

            it’s okay, they’re only doing the worst 10% the same, so you better vote for those who are fine with you not being able to afford anything or have rights
