Elizabeth Warren Explains It All For You
Or:
Why It's Fair For the Rich to Pay More In Taxes

Why is it so hard for Dems to make this rather simple case?

Jesus. It's just amazing how inept the Dems are at articulating the--largely excellent-reasons in favor of their general positions. What Warren does in that clip is not amazing--it should be routine.

Now that Perry's ad strategy is out--Michael Bay meets "Morning in America"--there seems to me to be even better reason for the Dems to emphasize calm, clear, reasoned messages. We simply can't beat the GOP at bullshit. They've got that market cornered. The low-information voters they target eat that crap up. The way for the Dems to win is to make the 'Pubs fight on their turf--in the arena of reasoned debate. The GOP has ceded all that territory to the Dems. It's long past time to turn that decision against them.
