A great starting point and vision moving forward after our loss.

This really is about the best we have seen. It speaks to the needs of the country and is a platform for which all of our members should mostly agree and abide by.

We have the message. We need to improve the organization. The DNC is so important and must be headed by a full-time competent individual. Coordination among the DNC and state parties must be excellent.

We have almost all of the ingredients. It's not as bad as some are making it out to be. We are in a position where a couple of cycles could change the outcome of America for the better. It starts with our vision and ability to organize and coordinate.

1. I agree and promoting our message is becoming far more challenging. We need some pithy

encapsulation to keep hitting over and over, because that seems to be what works.

Thanks for the upbeat post.

It's a challenge like never before. All mediums are saturated with good and bad information. We have outlets play a role in this election that didn't really exist a decade ago.

About your pithy encapsulationcomment. Spot on.

"We're going to build a wall and make them pay for it."

"Drain the swamp."

They convey a message toward a broader policy that is short and sticks with you.

We had a couple but Trump seemed to consume the cycle.

"Equal pay for equal work."

That was often said. It's solid but is limited in it's audience.

Still, it's this downtime between elections where we need to keep getting the message out.
