that doesn't understand how the world works.
Democrats have to keep their messengers on message, and be able to craft that message not just as a recitation of facts and policy, but as a persuasive story about democracy and governance that voters want to hear, and support.
Good grief.
As I've previously posted, you can't start "messaging" until you actually have something, more specifically something that's passed both houses.
Otherwise, the MSM will accuse the Dems of making promises they can't keep, if X, Y, and Z aren't in the final bill Biden signs, even though they were previously "messaging" bout them.
Stop it dammit.
