Summary

If I could change one thing about the Democratic Party it would be this:

Stop demanding blind loyalty to the One True Message.

Yes, coalition building is hard.

Yes, your most passionate members will be the loudest.

Yes, things could go wrong.

But the alternative is what you’ve had and that is what you are about to hear from the Harris-Walz campaign leadership in this episode. We invented a totally implausible and frankly laughable narrative and then were frustrated when progressives, the media and voters didn’t buy it.

They are to blame! Not the candidate. Not the message. Certainly not the brilliant team that put this in motion.

It would have been easy if everyone just blindly repeated that Kamala Harris is a bi-partisan deal maker who understands the best ideas come from beyond the beltway. Sure, it’s plain to see that she’s a Democratic stalwart from the most iconic liberal state in the union. But if you keep repeating the first one, the dumbs will believe it!

We discuss the Democratic obsession with messaging with ettingermentum.

Also, Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico on the future of the Pro Choice movement.

It’s a warm, expansive Px3 for a winter weekend.
