  6. One thing Liberals do that I think you are doing in this video is focusing wholly on the very poor and destitute.  I understand this and agree our society is predatory and we ignore these people, but focusing on them in a current and ongoing way seems wrong, or doomed to failure. What a good Democratic government has always gone is focus on the future.  Give a path to those who are capable of improvement to improve, ie health care and education for example, but we need to devise a system that cares for but does not exacerbate the problem and the number of the really destitute, and does not encourage them to have children they cannot manage. The other day I heard on "All Things Considered" a women talking about how awful it was that some women in prison were offered sterilization, and I agree this could be wrong  if it was done in the wrong way, forced or coerced, but it makes Liberals look terrible to be defending in some way the right of women in prison to have unlimited children, and it turns my stomach. This seems to me to be one of those things designed to turn the public against Liberals and Democrats.  As sad as it seems, or as right-wing as it might make me sound, Liberals are losing badly in this country and they have to be more clever and focus on things that can gain popular support, particularly of the people who flipped and voted for Trump last time - and championing the rights of criminals to have unlimited offspring doesn't seem like a great way to do that ... in fact it seems like a great way to lose.
