Dear Nancy Pelosi, Bumper sticker politics is no way to connect with the voters you need to convince. Best, Retiring Guy.

 


New York Times, 3/12/2022
After offering her customary lavish praise of President Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi got to the business at hand at a White House meeting last month on the midterm elections. 
Democrats, Ms. Pelosi told Mr. Biden and a group of his aides, need a more succinct and consistent message. The speaker, who has long been fond of pithy, made-for-bumper-sticker mantras, offered a suggestion she had heard from members: Democrats deliver.  [emphasis added]

The question is:  How are the Democrats going to position themselves against a party that promotes
  1. voter suppression
  2. climate skepticism
  3. fossil fuels
  4. insurrection
  5. censorship
  6. whitewashing American history
  7. teacher bashing
  8. homophobia
  9. transphobia
  10. Trump fealty
and on and on?

Slogans aren't a path to success.
