Agree on all your points. Now how do we do it? Who will do it? I belong to a local Democratic group (think like the national group’Indivisible’. We need the state Democratic leadership to get guidance down to our level- as you suggest, talking points, action points,etc. Who in leadership do we contact?
I belong to a local Democratic Party in NW Wisconsin and it's not about who else can do it. Who else can do it? Unfortunately, we are a party largely of volunteers, we all have to take the bull by the horns and do it ourselves. Build it and they will come.
I agree with your points and look forwards to your newsletter. Keep writing and when we all share your work, we will start to the direction of the Democratic Party.
We lived a fine life in Springfield. Seriously, we did. I retired from State service and, while husband still worked on contract around the US, we decided to move to GA. We talked about whether we would be politically and culturally comfortable here. Long story, short, we live on the coast where Democrats are a ~3-1 minority. I'm not comfortable. I love your suggestions in this newsletter and have always believed O'Neill's advice that all politics is local. I'm not sure I think that, other than Warnock's leadership, any statewide efforts to re-frame the basics would take off.

Governor of Kentucky Andy Beshear seems to be following your advice.

Very astute and accurate. I have been thinking of this myself. would love to talk more with you about this.
I am so tired of appeals from Dems and Dem candidates to enter into and to be ready to FIGHT. PLEASE SEND MONEY.
To do what you describe, Doug, requires community and people-to-people conversation to BUILD TRUST. PLEASE SEND HOSPITALITY.
