Bernie has the right idea. They should all be out on social media every day saying they look forward to working with Trump on his plan to reduce grocery prices and just keep hammering in on the promises he made during the campaign that would actually be good for the country and bring up the fact that he's not addressing those promises every day until he does.

This is a terrible idea from Bernie.

Message on the economy, and things doing terrible under Trump is one thing. We should do this non stop given many voted for the economy.

But definitely not Bernies approach which tends to operate on shooting us in the foot, and only being red meat for his base, and gifted material for the GOP to use against us.

Bernie often either:
Tries to be deep or clever to say things that the right can use as a, "see, even Bernie agrees with us."
Or weaponize is words because Bernie will promise something way out there he knows full damn well he can't keep, but is red meat for his base.
Or shoots us in the foot with his all or nothing style of messaging.

Some of his messages also has a horrible habit of resonating or playing coy with the "both sides bad" crowd. The crowd that claims they aren't saying both sides are the same, but have a nasty habit of embracing or defending going 3rd party or staying home if Dems aren't doing "enough."

There is no need to put up optics that Republicans are working to fix the economy at all. Stick with Republicans have tanked the economy.
