is their utter inability to frame a message. Republikkkans distill their ideas down to five-syllable soundbytes, to which Democrats reply with five-page treatises on the state of things, with extensive footnotes, endnotes, vague citations and oblique allusions to previous statements.

Democratic ideals are simply better and are universally more popular than the Republikkkan agenda, but Dems have no ability to crystalize their platform in any way that resonates with people.
