Talking about the parties directly may be a dead end tbh. There is so much mental baggage, bias and fatigue associated with the parties, focusing on issues and ideas seems the right strategy and making a conscious effort to keep the parties as a secondary or tertiary data point.

One thing i keep coming back to is that we need to take this country back from Wall Street. Companies should not be putting people’s retirement in 401ks. They should have pension funds and banks should have to offer high interest savings accounts. This seems like a big step (back) in the right direction to me.
