The fact is that the main problem is Republican inability to govern. Policies they promote are not inline with the American people's values from the healthcare debacle of the American Healthcare Act of Trump/Ryan to the pulling out of the Paris Accord for climate change. There is no stomach for the destruction of Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security in order to give the richest corporations and individuals trillions of dollars in tax cuts by the American people.
The commonsense of the American people is to halt the destruction of the middle class and poor people by Republicans eviscerating programs to help them- school lunch programs, Head Start, college student loan and forgiveness programs, capital improvement program for historic black colleges, cutting Planned Parenthood funding, allowing coal companies to dump their waste into streams, opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil development, reneging on police reform agreements by the Department of Justice,and so many other programs through rollbacks, defunding, or simply not hiring competent people to administer federal programs.
But Joe Lieberman is caught up int he canard "both siderism" and the fact that voters rejecting his outlook and policies at the ballot box. He should read this:
