5. The whole thing

is certainly entertaining to watch, but you are correct, it is not going to help us regain control. We have to get back on track with promoting good policy and actually doing the right things. I keep seeing posts along the lines of "is he dead yet", and that is the style of behavior that is holding us back and making us unattractive in the eyes of the independent and centrist voters. And no, I don't mean strictly on DU, that is the mood on pretty much all social media and even the news media. It's doing damage, and not in the way we would like either.
