What is wrong with the idea of focusing on policies, not people?

17. Actually, I don't believe a revolution is likely. I believe that if you get enough people demanding

serious change and helping to elevate candidates with very progressive rhetoric so that their message starts to catch on and become more mainstream in its visibility that this will generally force (or allow) the establishment to tac left and champion those issues, rather than doing the easy thing that doesn't ruffle any lobbyists feathers and ignoring them. What it does is it changes the way the wind is blowing, and what the Democratic party needs to do is to see that when it happens and catch that gust.

I thought, according to this thread, that your agenda was to get underneath the labels and the cults of personality to the policies. I'm not trying to call you out on something. I doubt I'm doing your intention justice at all, but that's due to a lack of understanding on my part. I guess the question is, who is riding the tide of cult-of-personality rather than being about policies and platforms, as you see it, here on the left?
