You won’t have a coherent message if you are constantly terrified of offending some invented micro-identity. Of course, the goal was to beat people into submission by threats of cancellation and insults. There was never any plan to persuade or convince. Now that it’s suddenly necessary to have a message instead of screaming at everybody to shut up, it turns out that Democrats have none and don’t know how to create it.
I had to Google it and yes, it’s true, they did appoint Hogg. These people are really cuckoo.

If you watched the DNC stuff, you know things aren’t gonna get any better for them. Not just because of who they chose, but because of the proceedings themselves.

As for our winner, “Martin said during his campaign for chair that the party already has ‘the right message.’”
Donors and party leaders like Schumer wanted Ben Wikler, who strikes me as a formidable individual. As a Republican, I’m glad DNC members went with Ken Martin instead (though even he should be a step up from Jaime Harrison.)

Oh, the Dems definitely have a message: “We made a big mistake 50 years ago when we closed all the looney bins in the country. so that sickos and wackos like us don’t get the therapy we so desperately need!”
The bastards also put me out of work (I was the chief psychiatrist at a California state hospital that they shuttered), so I ended up joining the Air Force as a flight surgeon, and was forced to go overseas to strange places like Korea and Japan and Germany and Italy and learn to speak a few foreign languages that I rarely get the chance to use here in America.
The good news is that the USAF gave me subsidized housing and meals, so that I was able to invest a portion of my monthly pay during my 21 years on active duty, and was a wealthy not-so-old man when I retired at 52 years old.
And I’ve done absolutely nothing productive since then except write and sell a series of horror stories that reflect my dyspeptic view of life.
So of course I always vote Republican. (But maybe the Democrats did me a favor, after all.)

This is such a lovely tale with a moral to be used as an example of the law of unintended consequences.
Lucky you and well done!

The US is generally the best place for capital accumulation even for people who don’t live in the US.

If Dems want a message, they could start with reconsidering what it means to be a liberal and get over fighting old ghosts. They also need to reconnect with ordinary people rather than their preference for utopian projects
