People cannot support messages they do not hear.

Why does DU not reflect the general population in the straw polls here? Because DUers hear a broader range of messages.

I strongly believe that were the general public getting the same information that DUers get, that the general public would vote the same way that DUers do.

The job, then, is to get the message to the public, not to beat up on each other, not to advise caution and centrism, not to discourage and malign each other, not to tell people to "accept reality" or "be practical," and not to roll over and wallow in right wing propaganda myths about politics and the general public.

Otherwise, the resounding message will be that we - WE right here - once again failed the American people.

Blaming the public is the problem, not the solution.
