Hypothetical:

A Democrat strategist approaches you and says Mr Blue we have been very appreciative of your donations over the years and we would like to hear your proposals of what we could do to make the Democratic party more appealing to the average voter. What are some things you think we could advocate for in the House and Senate and in public to help our image with the American middle class/working particularly those in rural areas?

If we pretend that someone was listening, what would you tell them?

Modding nerf blasters is fun and easy. We did it a ton in college for zombie tag. Neat little rabbit hole to fall down if you want your nerf fights to be more exciting.
