7. Yes, we need to work on fixing the system.

And frankly I'm far for focused on the 2018 midterms. But you're wrong that it doesn't matter who we nominate. We can multitask and we do need to be figuring out who our next generation of leaders is and we need to figure out a coherent message. "We suck less than Republicans" is not enough. It's totally true, and about 40% of those who vote will vote for the Dem nominee no matter what. But you need more if you're gonna get high enough to be past the margins where the game rigging can steal it.
