Next election please let the Democratic Party campaign on tangible policies, not just ad hominem - even if true.

Did we watch the same debate?

Fuck that, the American people have shown they do not care about nerds citing policies. They care about narratives.

Run with the ad Homs if that’s the narrative needed to win, then use the power to implement policy. Anything less is bringing a book to a gun fight

I respectfully suggest a future campaign slogan that sets a simple yet high policy bar: make America good again.

Let that be the prism through which all future political action is seen. Let's be real. Let's be good. Let's strive to eliminate and replace this farcical hyperbole, self-agrandizement, this pyramid scheme of a pretense at government. Let's have some confidence and ambition: work to restore a real balance of power between our three branches. There is so much we could do in the near and long term if we just set out sights on a simple, positive goal.

We may never be great again. Maybe we never were. But we can be good.
