16. Simple. Talk to people instead of talking at them.

Which should be really fucking easy. But apparently not if the past month has been any indication. Feels like everyone's on a double or nothin streak for the past decade with this stuff.

And it seems like the current favored political strategy is, "Maybe if Republicans really screw up, they'll vote for us again!" Which is actually a reasonable expectation. Our party taking Congress in '26 and the Presidency in '28 are realistic consequences of people watching Trump in action.

It's just depressing that that seems to be the entire measure of the strategy. "Change nothing. Wait until something really bad happens. Profit."

What a hopeful, inspiring vision.
