It is critical, as you say, David, that the Dems need to learn how to communicate to as large a number of voters as possible, and to do so in a manner that develops and maintains trust.

We are paying the price now for the failure of elected Democrats, the DNC and the administration itself to promote President Biden's amazing accomplishments to the electorate in a manner that they could grasp.

Of course, we will also have to tackle the issue of how to counter the daily disinformation that is disseminated on social media to a large swath of voters who cannot be bothered to do more than glance at the screens of their cell phones.

I hope I am wrong, but I suspect we haven't reached the bottom yet.

In retrospect, it seems clear that we're not going to defeat the patriarchy by using the tools of the patriarchy. Organic, on-the-ground, at-the-kitchen-table conversations and explanations are the more likely path.

It's old advice. We need to be involved and actually make it a priority. We have to care enough to take action in the small and steady ways. Engagement. Conversation. Self-awareness. And continuing critical thinking and self-education.
