13. We need to establish and project unity of purpose first. Only then can we choose the right leader.

As things stand today, the Democratic Party is made up of a myriad of micro-purposes competing for attention, all desiring to have their own voice that would dominate discourse, and very few having the mass appeal to resonate among all Americans. Someone has yet to unify all of these interests into a single voice that will speak for all Democrats.

Kamala came the closest to projecting this voice, but it was too little too late. She was the first one in a long time who spoke on behalf of the middle class, and the interests of the middle class are common to the vast majority of all the Democrats (along with many ideology-neutral Republicans), no matter what other issues that divide us may be.

When the Democrats make the middle class their core focus and adjust their message accordingly for the long term, they will start winning elections again, like they have done in the past.
