Really, it would be a great first step if they would speak plainly, in language that average people understand. Whitehouse's description of the "crime scene" is a great example. And we should build on that with crime scene tape everywhere symbolizing this bill.

Obviously Bernie, AOC, Warren and a few others have been strong on plain talk. Newsom is pretty good about that too. But far too many Dems are either completely silent, or talk in such riddles or such wimpy language as to be nauseating.

We could even launch an advertising theme, CSI: DC Heck, at this stage, maybe even Musk would help fund that. Strange bedfellows.
