No, that's not the message

The translation is that just about all the Democratic strategists are clueless and are consumed with a fear of taking any clear positions on anything because that isn't "safe".

99.9 percent of Dems need to learn the difference between reacting to the other guy/lady versus presenting a clear vision to define themselves. We must do BOTH -- ESPECIALLY at the Presidential level. When we don't define ourselves sufficiently -- and Biden NEVER did -- the other guy defines us. This is really basic stuff.

If you can't see this or refuse to see it, then I agree we're wasting our time here.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
