    I really liked her framing in this part of the speech. Another speaker said it similarly earlier in the week.

    The Republicans fight for freedom of corporations to be deregulated and pollute our environment with reckless abandon.

    The Democrats are fighting for freedom of people to live and be safe in their home environment. Safe to drink water, safe to breathe the air.

    Highlighting the differences in how each party conceives of the notion of freedom could be a huge deciding factor in this election, and for that matter I think it’s critical for Dems to reclaim usage of the word from the republicans who have disfigured its meaning almost beyond recognition.
