11. We agree on the importance of the issues

The simple reality is that people respond emotionally.
The who, what, how and why regarding "supporting the troops"

the minds and perceptions of the public.

Yes, the right-wing lies.
And there is no way to talk right-wingers
into or out of "beliefs" they hold.

The national conversation needs to change.
It needs to move away from partisan issues
and into larger, more inclusive issues that will

renew the New Deal, strengthen social safety net,
make connections where divisions exist.
End the destructive practice of "wedge politics".
Populism IS the 99%.
