Some Dems don’t tell people what’s deeply true, not that they don’t know what’s true but cuz they think it will turn people off or scare them if we’re that honest. But that infantilizes people. We have to name the truth to claim the truth, in politics no less than anywhere else.

Perhaps you ought to be specific about who you're talking about instead of just saying "some Dems." Otherwise it's like Trump when he says "people are saying...." After all, you are saying to name the truth.

We have a sociopathic & unjust economic system; millions of American children live w/ chronic trauma; systemic racism needs to be addressed; and we focus too much on preparing for war at the expense of efforts to wage peace. None are fun to look at but all are fixable when we do.

I think you missed the point of my comment. I was suggesting that you be specific about *who* you're referring to when you wrote "some Dems." We can't pay attention to who the "problem" is unless our attention is drawn to a person, or people, directly.

All you have to do is listen to what people say and use independent thinking processes, rather than being spoon fed, to figure these things out.
