Maybe the Democratics, in our diversity and complexity, dont lend ourselves to bumper sticker messaging. Perhaps WE as in individuals should take on some responsibility. Instead of demanding that the Senate Minority Leader come up with the perfect one-size-fits-all message that both captures complex policies and gives us all the warm fuzzies, perhaps we who think were so knowledgeable should be out in our communities explaining to our neighbors and friends why were Democrats and what the Democratic Party will do for them.
Thats how it used to be done before we started depending on the mass media to give us our messages. Now we take the lazy approach, demanding that our national leaders give us our marching orders and, if theyre not perfect in every way, we it back and blame them. NOT GOOD ENOUGH, CHUCK AND NANCY. GO DO BETTER.
Dammit, WE need to do better. Get our asses off our phones and out of our houses and go TALK TO SOMEBODY! THATs how you message!
