You’re so right. The Democratic Party does not get it. Instead of wrapping their arms around Graham Platner, they go with the same old establishment….nearly 80 yr old politician. Time for new and young blood.
Another thing that ticks me off; democrats are too polite, they don’t have it in them. Schumer needs to go. We need someone with a strong voice and ready to get in there and give it right back to the Republicans.
Brilliant framing with the foundation metaphor. The construction site example really drives home how disconnected party elites are from the voters they need most. When I worked on local campaigns the biggest shift happened when we stopped leading with abstract values and started naming actual power structures taking money out of peoples pockets. FDR's economic royalists line isnt just rhetoric it was a permission structure to name villians and give voters a target.
Excellent. I hope they listen but I’m not holding my breath.
