"The challenge for Democrats, rather, is rhetorical. If Americans prize 'freedom' more than 'equality,' Democrats need to find the right words to convince people to support equality-furthering policies. With such a tenuous grip on both parts of Congress and without Trump as an easy foil to turn out Democrats' base and turn independent voters away from the GOP, the success of the party's long-term agenda and their hold on power will depend on their doing so. It also might just help unify the party in the process."
James Piltch at Politico argues that, for Democrats, "appealing to a shared sense of community will help them connect with Americans now and increase support for equality-based messages and policies later."
