We're talking about the difference between herding cats and making anxious dogs bark.
The Dems, unlike the GOP, have to bring in the dogs without upsetting the cats and making them scatter. It's a harder set of victory conditions.
First, though, they have to start talking to people in rural areas, listening to their need, and finding language that connects with those people showing that they are both hearing what was said, and responding with an approach that doesn't throw any of their urban constituencies under the bus. The Dems need to find common ground for a broad, grassroots solution.
So yeah, send the consultants to Mars and put Walz in charge of listening.
And in other news - I found this Bluesky thread (via BJ) that explains how the Marines managed to hit a CHP motorcycle with shrapnel while the CHP closed down I-5 to let Pete Dog and Couchy posture and pretend to be manly warrior men:

I'm sure some poor grunt is hating life right now, but whoever in the brass okayed this pointless bit of spectacle is the one who should be shunned.
Not that any of that is going to rouse the Ancient Orange One from his eldritch slumber.
