Democrats seem to think that the issue — which carries life-or-death stakes — is too divisive to address.

    So, to be clear, your claim is that I didn’t say what I literally said?

    Here, maybe an analogy will help. Suppose I run for office to fight corporate monopolies. How do I get people to vote for me?

    1. “My fellow Americans, a strong antitrust policy will save you money at the grocery store by preventing price gouging.”

    2. “My fellow Americans, a strong antitrust policy will save you money on Pokémon cards by preventing price gouging.”

    Even though Pokémon cards will be cheaper under a good antitrust policy, that’s not a fact that will motivate average Americans to vote. They don’t hate Pokémon, you understand. They just have their own problems, living paycheck to paycheck, etc.

    Hope that helps!
