The Way Forward

I keep asking for a powerful and cogent message.

I had an OP earlier today where I talked about the need for the presence of strong messengers. I call them the good "explainers". They need to explain the process, with a little bit of civics, so that their message is not just rhetoric and viral talking points. My list includes (but is not limited to) Chris Murphy, Sheldon Whitehouse, Jamie Raskin, Cory Booker. New members Melanie Stansbury and Maxwell Frost deserve more air time. I think Bernie's anti-oligarchy tour is effective. I just saw Mike Levin speak to the CR and explain the choice. I am adding him to my list - he delivers just the right amount of wonk.

Earlier today, I said - we need to get John Larson out front, (if his blood pressure can tolerate it). I have shared the clip from yesterday's Ways and Means committee in several places.

Thanks again for your OP. It gives me inspiration to keep singing my song.
