The Axios article is all style, no substance

But they are onto something. Dems are upping the feisty quotient but until the party gets squarely behind some core ideas it won’t go anywhere. The key issue for me is money in politics and having the guts to tell donors to fuck off if their goals don’t align with some very basic principles of fairness at home and abroad. No more fiery speeches to the public on the one hand and “reassuring” messages to donors in private on the other. People see through that shit and look where it has landed us.
