159. One of the problems

is that Dems talk to voters as adults. Life is complicated. There must be trade-offs and compromises. You can't always get what you want (great, now that will be running through my head all night). Health care is expensive and not always what you need when and where you need it. Complicated. Russia. North Korea. Christians in Muslim countries. Muslims in Christian countries. Special forces in all countries. Nuance. Domestic vs. Foreign terrorism. VA. Drug prices. Illegal drug use and addiction care. Global climate change is real. You may not like it, but it's real, and your fellow Americans are going to suffer. As are millions around the world. And those millions are going to be heading our way as climate refugees. It's hard. Really. We're not joking. It's hard. And it's complicated, and smart people are needed.

Republicans: Lock her up. Build that wall. Obama bad. Muslims bad.

How do you get these points across to Ohio and Pennsylvania and the other states that offset the popular vote with key electoral votes? Sure, GOTV is critical nationwide. But how do you penetrate the closed and made up minds in Fox world? How do you get through to people who somehow think we can return to an America that never really existed. And even if it did, its population was around 1/3 of what it is now, and gas was $.10 a gallon. That's now the stuff of hazy, gauzy historical novels, even if you lived through it.
