Fortunately, Dr. Lakoff has written extensively about exactly how Democrats and progressives need to frame their arguments. And if we had to boil it down to two short phrases, they would be “Democrats stand for freedom” and “Democrats are for the people.”
A new poll conducted by Change Research for FutureMajority.org validates this advice. It finds that “movable” voters need to hear how Democrats will protect — and expand — freedom and democracy. They need to understand that the Democratic agenda works “for the people,” unlike the Republican agenda, which serves the wealthy, the powerful and, increasingly, Vladimir Putin. And they need to focus on framing a positive vision for the future, not just on the negatives of you-know-who.
