Should you live your life "one day at a time" or "in the moment" or is it better to have long standing goals that you work to achieve even though it makes you sad and stressed on a day to day basis?

There have been so many "for the people" politicians that have come before you with the exact same message you are delivering to us now. And yet the vast majority of those politicians, if elected, go on to forget about the message they were so effusively delivering before they were elected.

Why would you be any different?

The reality of politics is that you can't be doe-eyed or naive. Politicians will interpret this as weakness and will simply chew you to bits and spit you out. Like a sunflower seed.

So...how will you approach the fact that the political process is a reality and that, despite being right, good intentioned, or ultimately representative of the best solution... your peers will refuse to acknowledge you, not because you are wrong...but just because they don't like you and don't want to see you succeed? How will you overcome the political culture of obstructionism?

As a Democrat, why, in your opinion, are the Democrats so poor at political strategy? Nancy Pelosi was just handed a huge political loss due to failed negotiations of the 2nd stimulus package and when Trump signs executive orders mandating economic relief, it will go down (even though falsely) as the refusal of the Democratic Party to reach across the aisle and negotiate for the betterment of the whole populace.

She thought she had leverage when she did not.

Why, do you suppose, the current Democratic establishment lacks political forethought and how might you help better position your party's political policies?
