(90,167 posts)Well, we do indulge in some crazy-making around here.
Makes me wonder what kind of virtual horsepower is generated because of the clear and genuine passions voiced here (guilty as charged, meself).
And it just occurred to me that the hyper-frank discussions here do something else: PROVE by demonstration that the Democratic Party is diverse.
I think, when I'm in touch with my higher self, that the visuals, the images, the optics, of Tom Perez on tour with Bernie Sanders all over the country, are REALLY great. It SHOWS they're building bridges and connections. Like the Hardy Boys or Starsky and Hutch or Abbott and Costello. What we in Catholic school called an "outward sign." It's a visual aid, so vitally important when trying to make a connection. As I've read and observed, when emotions get involved, a much stronger, more intimate, and visceral connection is made. Heart over head appears to be the more powerful connection. The superior choice which is far more likely to have staying power. You can think it all you want. But it's when you feel it that you become excited, involved, enthusiastic, passionate. This regime is hitting us in the heart and the gut, too. Maybe that's why trump&comp have sparked such energy on the Democratic side. We haven't seen that in ages! Dems tend to sleep through the midterms, but maybe those days are over?
