We know, from our point of view, that we're worse than we are. The real question is, how good can we be, particularly at meeting the needs of ordinary people. How good can we and our policy be, and how clearly can we show that the People also want this policy?

I am sick and tired of Democrats trying to win by being slightly less awful than the truly awful. Have you noticed - the truly awful just gets emboldened and worse that way as well?
