Politico: “From a daily drumbeat on health care to the long-running saga over the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to a new focus on the rising cost of living, they believe they’re succeeding by making the party in power talk about Democratic priorities, not its own.”

1. Its about time

Why they haven't been doing this all along is beyond me. Republicans are so good at controlling the message, granted its usually by shooting a firehose of bullshit, but, its kept democrats on their back foot for too long. Like I get the whole 'when they go low, we go high' thing, and in an ideal world, that's great, but unfortunately politics is a dirty game, everyone gets dirty, and at the end of the day, it tends to be the squeaky clean ones that lose. Sucks, but that's how its been since politicians have been a thing.
