(11,859 posts)Revitalization or even Reimagining The Democratic Party. It's not as if we need to start from the ground up; the basic building blocks, pillars and values are intact. It's the vision thing for the future we need to work on and how to effectively, clearly and concisely communicate that to our fellow Americans.
I answered a post over at Kos yesterday, a poster who suggested every Democratic rep and senator need (in addition to the vision thing) to be far more aggressive in pointing out every misstep of the Trump Administration, explaining ad infinitum what half-ass policy and unqualified candidates do to muck up the system and ultimately hurt American citizens, costing them more money, endangering their health, their security, their families. Every spot before a microphone is an opportunity to whip the message.
The GOP has used this tactic endlessly, even when the information is-in-your face wrong and the mouthpieces sound like robots. Whether we like it or not? Repetition works. We're at the point where we need to fight fire with fire.
And when our alerts about half-assed policy and unqualified people-in-power bear fruit, as they most certainly will, we need to underscore our previous warnings with a gentle : We tried to warn y'all. Or perhaps more bluntly: We told you so.
So yeah, there's a lot of things we can discuss and analyze and try out. And the time is now because we know what's coming.
