2. I've always said it was a catch 22 situation........
......as you indicated our Democratic leaders aren't visible except a few months before election times.

On the flip side of that is the fact that if you get 10 Democrats in a room you will likely get 10 different ideas on what should be done and how.

We aren't going to convince anyone of anything unless we can agree first.

What the answers are to all of this is anyone's guess.

Personally, I get the impression sometimes Democrats are afraid of winning because then it's no longer "talking the talk" it quickly becomes "walking the walk".

I still say the #1 answer to everything is get corporate money out of the elections and go to public funded elections and then our leaders will be beholding only to their constituents.
