13. Isn't that odd - because our message CAN be so simple if we were

better organized and spoke in unison. With the explosion and bombardment of instant information, every adman in the country has had to rethink messaging. People can't read everything anymore or notice everything anymore- there's just too much. The Democratic Party must do that too.

And, we don't have to get in the dirt, we can still keep our values front and center. Because core values are different now. Long ago, Republicans and Democrats both agreed to help the poor, for example. It was just a matter of how. Now, they don't care. Amazingly too, they have been able to get away with acting like they care that premiums go up for the Obamacare participants. They don't, they don't give a shit.

Wish I had seen Democratic Party ads during the election. Perhaps since I am not in a swing state? Simple messages - Job growth graph ticking up, how we care about everyone being able to see a doctor and how they all voted against it.
