I agree with the main jist of this piece, but I have real problem with that general statement that's out there that you mentioned, regarding 79% of Americans believing we're on the "wrong track"!
I think that without real context - that "79%" is very misleading because I believe that "wrong track" means very different things to Democrats vs Republicans!
For Democrats - I believe "wrong track" has far less to do with our current administration, policies, or (hopefully)the new administration, etc. - and WAY more to do with with the continual blatant lies, disinformation and hateful dystopian rhetoric used by what now passes for the GOP, which is truly poisoning our country (vs our, um - "blood"...).
But without proper context, or drilling down to details - that stat can and has now been co-opted by the GOP as ONLY a negative against Democratic policies, etc.
Gee, I need some examples of how we (Democrats) say hateful, dark things. I've only heard Democrats telling voters what trump and his cult followers are saying.
