Sorry, man. I really don't know what you are hoping to accomplish with your approach to talking about this stuff. I agree that the Dems need a lot of work. What do you suggest as a strategy?

It is true, I believe, even though I find it disgusting, that crass salesmanship (aka "charisma") plays a major role in winning elections. Hot political salesmen are rarely selling good policy, though. And most voters are not geniuses at making the best choices. Such is life.

I don't know how humans survive as a species. My bet is that we won't.

You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.
