Many syndicated liberal/progressive columnists limit their impact. They provide commentary and their insights but do not put FORCES IN MOTION eg. if they had columns on increasing the minimum wage with details or increasing Social Security benefits—frozen for over 40 years—maybe their neglectful Democratic Party would move with them. With billions of dollars the party has the means to make it authentic on TV, radio and with a ground game on these reforms. No more throwaway lines! 60 million elderly and 25 million low income workers would get overdue benefits and income. That’s a lot of voters!
