Democrats want to offer Americans a better deal. It's just unclear if they know what it means. On Monday, Democratic Party leadership officially rolled out the new platform they're running on in 2018: "A Better Deal: Better Jobs, Better Wages, Better Future."

Now, while the plan has plenty of worthwhile parts and points in an encouraging direction, the critics are right that Democrats still have a big problem.
