6. WHY? There's no insight without understanding WHY.

Sun Jan 12, 2020, 12:47 PM

Jan 2020

What is she hired to accomplish and for whom? When she and the rest of her team and outside political staffers met to discuss what themes would be hit in this program, who were they, what themes were they considering, and WHY?

I don't watch her any more. And the themes her programs push are sufficient reason. Either Republicans or Democrats will become the dominant power starting in 2021. Among smart people, and they are, every theme that undermines belief and confidence in Democrats (like this one) and stoke divisions (like this one) is meant to benefit Republicans.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
