This is very astute advice from @jessefferguson.bsky.social about how Dems should talk about what they've delivered for voters. time.com/7306863/demo...

The painful irony of this is that Democrats have achieved results—and that more are within our reach—but we won’t succeed at convincing anyone about them if our focus is on the process of getting them done.

Consider how differently these messages land with voters:

Instead of saying "passed a law so criminal gun traffickers face up to 15 years in prison," say "put criminal gun traffickers in prison for up to 15 years."
Instead of "negotiated with prescription drug companies," say "lowered prescription drug prices by forcing companies to negotiate with Medicare."
Instead of “invested $1.5 trillion in transportation infrastructure," say "built 100,000 miles of new roads so your commute is shorter.”
Instead of "created the largest climate investment in American history," say "made your electric bill cheaper with more clean energy."
Instead of "expanded access to broadband internet," say "brought high-speed internet to rural communities that didn’t have it before."
