Democrats need to make the 2020 election a referendum on Trump

Rather than drag in a bunch of other issues, Democrats need to make the 2020 election solely about Trump. That’s how to will win. Forget other issues for now. Make it completely about Trump, his corruption, greed, sex crimes, contempt for the law, and incompetence. The other issues come later, after a Democrat is elected president.

To guarantee a victory Democrats need to grab as much of the center vote as possible. That means appealing to moderates who aren’t particularly interested in being woke. They just want the country to go back to some semblance of normality. Woke isn’t going to win the election because that’s not where the crucial votes are. The hard left will mostly vote for the Democrat anyway as they have no other place to go, especially since the Green Party will almost certainly nominate Howie Hawkins who is unknown outside the party and Jill Stein isn’t running.

And please Democrats, stop triumphant woke blather about socialism, because it’s counter-productive.
1) A recent poll shows that talk about socialism completely turns off many voters. You want four more years of Trump? Talk about how woke socialist Democrats are. Because that’s pretty much the only way Trump can win.
2) AOC and Bernie Sanders aren’t actually socialist. Neither have called for state ownership of the means of production…
