Thom. Your rhetoric successfully continues to pit good versus evil. But your hackneyed delineations telling your readers that Progressives are good and Republican are evil, truly undermine real democratic solutions. The immense complexity of our problems demand much more sophisticated approaches. Without this your rhetoric simply falls on the deaf ears of your opposition. And it’s not because they are ignorant or evil people. No. Despite your efforts to persuade otherwise, there are thoughtful right-leaning people asking for the substance beneath your platitudes.
In other words we continue to ask people like you for such significant things as the following.
How will and at what costs will progressives provide nutritious and affordable food?
How will and at what costs will progressives provide decent housing and a safe place to live?
How will and at what costs will progressives provide a living wage that can support a family?
How will and at what costs will progressives provide economic security in retirement and old age?
How will and at what costs will progressives provide healthcare that doesn’t bankrupt you?
How will and at what costs will progressives provide equal rights, both political and economic, regardless of gender, race, or religion?
How will and at what costs will progressives provide debt-free college and trade school?
How will and at what costs will progressives provide quality public schools for all children?
How will and at what costs will progressives provide news and information free of bias or manipulation by algorithms?
How will and at what costs will progressives provide universal access to voting for all citizens of voting age?
How will and at what costs will progressives provide family planning healthcare including abortion access?.
How will and at what costs will progressives provide a planet that’s no longer in danger of climate chaos?
How will and at what costs will progressives provide opportunity to start small businesses without destruction by monopoly
How will and at what costs will progressives provide the freedom to live your life without fear of getting shot?
My challenge to you is to put aside the bludgeoning rhetoric you use to condemn your opposition. Maybe for a month or even a week, refrain from the blaming and condemning the right for all the problems we face, and explain to your readers two things: How progressives will accomplish their objective, and what will be the costs associated with these accomplishments. That includes the financial and moral costs to the country and to each of us.
Certainly, the easy answers for these are: more legislative means to enforce your moral ends, and the costs for such things shouldn’t matter. But of course these things extremely matter to hundreds of millions of Americans. To assume we ought to assent to your moral conclusions doesn't help any of us. Such presumption will certainly continue to divide us. But if that's the goal, then more hatred of each other will be the only result.
