Real short. I agree. We need some fire, not wringing of hands. Apologies if this is too long. I can shorten it later.

My takeaway from all this is that the party has to decide what
key issues that will unite Democrats and cause them to drop objections when "all six items are not addressed".

Cultural, yes, cultural issues such as these three

1. hypocrisy, I give a litany of examples of "do as I say, not as I do " ,
2. the big "Election Integrity" grift, because it's painfully obvious and fresh, and
3. the use of people as cannon fodder in the fake elector and Jan 6 schemes. He sent people to the slammer, more to come. Pure betrayal.


Plain old Tent Revival Democratic Style. So Joe is a mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper. People are unimpressed. So, can he get a team together with a point person on each key issue, with lots of energy and presence? It would demonstrate unity.
That Blues Brothers (1 and 2) music would do it for me!
