Cable TV news Democrats need to speak
If there are problems in November and they get swept under the rug and dismissed, the marquee democrats like Hillary and Joe Biden will have a sizeable portion of the blame, as far as I'm concerned.

These brewing problems aren't even on the radar for most people, and given the general crappiness of US television news, these issues will continue to be essentially invisible unless the half a dozen or so bigshot democrats that cable tv treats as the the face of the party decide to step up and talk about it before we have another highly questionable election. If they wait until the day after the election to make any noise about this, democratic objections will seem like sour grapes to casual observers(and casual voters).

Having said that, thank you for this article. I am waiting with bated breath for Manjoo's glib refutation in a day or two.
