I didn't use the fb link but I have been watching and I have a grievance, not just with Ms. Psaki whom I admire greatly. It's the messaging issue and how everyone is using the term "sell/selling" the concept to the public.

They need to stop using that word.They are not selling us anything, they are keeping us apprised of their work and successes, informing us of what has been approved and what will now be accomplished from here on out in that program. So it's not really selling us anything, we've already paid, they are telling us how their doing their job is going to work in the plan they put forth -- a task which we elected them to accomplish.

So selling this is the wrong terminology and needs to end immediately.



ETA: I say this because to me, the reference to selling something in the political arena cheapens it's value.
