I agree with you

The problem is that their wedge issues are just enough reality based to stick.

We need to stop being so pinheaded and realise that teaching middle schoolers with a wheel of oppression and that they have done sort of original sin based on skin color is wrong. We need to shout this out loud

We need to state that we will not accept a rising murder rate and general lawlessness (shoplifting... copper theft etc) and if the police cannot bring it under control we will find some police that want to do the job.

We need to spend money building infrastructure and helping the poor. And proudly state that is where the money is going. Not for the hundredth art instalation or museum attached to a new tunnel project.

We need to find a way to build things cheaper than France. (See high speed rail)
