re: #170 Hecuba’s daughter

The Tea Party succeeded in getting a Republican House and a Republican Senate. So — maybe we do need a lefty version if it can win. Being reasonable and offering real solutions doesn’t seem to work. We need a left Frank Luntz who can frame issues in bumper sticker slogans to persuade the average American. And we need a large group of persistent citizens to force the GOP out of office.

We also need a few billionaires willing to throw their money into things like buying a news station. //

I do think we need to model the tea party in two ways: 1) be passionate for your candidate in the primaries, and be passionate for the Democrat in the general, 2) run for every office you can.
