Straight talk

As the democrat party looks to the future and tries to figure out who they are and what they stand for they will be missing the point because that it the way parties that lost always recovered. In the past democrats felt that the central government could best serve the people but technology has changed that. The norm has been that experts in Washington decided how the country should run and most people could not see behind the curtain what was happening. In today's world ordinary citizens can now access the inner workings of government on their phones. They don't like the idea of someone at the top telling them how to live their lives. Elected officials will have daily contact with their constituents and must answer directly to them. Voters will now be more knowledgeable and not so easily misled by some far off expert. The mumbo jumbo of the typical politician will be replaced with straight talk. The successful politician will be the one who answers yes and no questions with yes or no instead of some lengthy diatribe.
