OMG! Stuart Stevens just now on MSNOW left everyone gasping

49. A party that fails to make the case and build the political will for things like Universal Health Care is a disservice.

For too long the "conventional wisdom" of the beltway bubble Democratic Party consultant class is "can't win, so STFU" about so-called "impossible" reforms.

The big goals remain out of reach because too few Democratic electeds and candidates are out there making the case and building the political will for the big shit, like universal health care, or a one time 20% levy on billionaires. They poll for some tepid agenda that is acceptable to the broadest audience, and that is deemed "doable," but that is so watered down it inspires no one.

And add that to a failure of many in our party to apply cognitive science, more unified messaging, and effective anti-MAGA, anti-Christian Nationalism, pro-American values and patriotic themes repeated again, and again, and again.
