    None of these were serious policy proposals, but intentionally glib, tossed-off ideas. The idea is that most non-political-nerds (I am one, no insult intended) don’t pay attention to policy details. Tossing out hollow policy proposals that nevertheless excite people is only one possible tactic to address the important truth: Democrats need to get better at big-picture messaging, because they’re failing to inspire people.

      That’s the thing though, you tossed out ideas that should matter to the American people if Democrats proposed them only to be opposed by Republicans, but we see that already has happened, and as far as I can tell, folks don’t care.
