Again and again the Dems only think about their messaging. The American people are fucking sick of messaging. We want action.
It is about action, but also messaging. Democrat are shit at bragging about their accomplishments for working Americans because they don't want to offend corporate interests and wealthy donors.
Politics are all about the interdependence of action and messaging. If you don't run on powerful messaging then, even if elected, you aren't going to have the ability to take significant action. If you don't take significant action, then it's a whole lot harder to create effective messaging. You can't have one without the other.
Any progressive that somehow managed to run the gauntlet and become president would find themselves in conflict with both Republicans and Democrats in congress. The only way to break that log jam would be a massive populist uprising. The only way to get that is with powerful messaging.
