Telling me stories isn't going to impress me with the party that's done very little in the last 20 years to make life better for the average American, even when they had Congress and the White House.

I want to know what's going to be different this time. I want to know that the Democrats are actually going to pass legislation to make things better in the medium run and in the long run. And we've seen some good ideas. The idea to reform the Supreme Court, that's a good one. I want to see more ideas like that, and I want to see centrist Democrats being pressured into publicly endorsing them.

I want Democrats to refuse to take money from crypto billionaires. I want Democrats to tell all of us how they're going to stand up against monopolies. I want Democrats to risk angering the large corporations that dominate US politics, because I know that's the only way that life will get better for the average American.

Of course you can't always get what you want. So if the Democrats want to tell stories better, I guess that's better than nothing, but don't expect me to respect them.
