Robert Reich: I don’t know what the fuck the Democrats are doing, quite frankly. Some of them are taking James Carville’s advice and rolling over and playing dead, expecting that Trump is going to automatically overreach. I think that’s just wrongheaded. I think Democrats have got to wake up. They’ve got to be a true resistance party. They have a platform handed to them, because you’ve got Donald Trump surrounded by billionaires, cutting taxes for billionaires, and at the same time cutting Medicaid and food stamps and lots of things average working people depend on. Could you imagine a better and easier scenario to attract working-class voters back to the Democratic Party, if you really were interested in doing that?
