The central point in my post yesterday was trying to balance two facts: First, voters made a decision last November to shut Democrats out of all but a series of powers on the margins within the federal government. There’s no hyper-exertion or Mike Pence “if he has courage” that undoes that fact. Second, an effective opposition needs to provide the public not only with some sense of “hope” but also the outlines of a plan. Given point one that plan doesn’t need to be and probably can’t be terribly detailed. But a basic sense of we are now here and we’re going to get there. And here are the tools we’re going to get from A to B. And we are going to get to B and it’s going to take all of us to get there. See yesterday’s post for more on this.
There’s a separate and pretty critical part of this equation I want to discuss.
