a smarter Tucson is a better Tucson
If Arizona Democrats want to make the 2018 Senate race a referendum on who's less "establishment," the party should first check and see if U.S. Rep. Kyrsten Sinema is made of Capitol marble.... Read more»

Another indication that the politics of the Democratic Party is moribund and bankrupt.
And I believe that that this article misses the point as well. It is not “messaging” but actions, policies and advocacy for initiatives that serve the people.
You could go full ‘Bernie’ with fight for $15 an hour wages, universal healthcare, free college tuition, etc.
You could also advocate for rolling back the tax giveaway to the rich and how it bankrupts America. You could demand that the U.S. Military budget be dramatically reduced—we don’t need or want foreign military interventions and military presence in 149 countries.

There is no mention of promoting the ERA amendment. Nor is there discussion on fighting sexual abuse of women and children.
There are real issues to address.
Regretfully, neither the candidate nor the author want to discuss issues that affect us every day.
