Political Lessons: Valley of the Boom
Vision of the New Era

Never deny the worth of the vison, but never discount the steps of implementation. It is never an obvious path in the midst of a revolution. The vision may be perfect, but the realization is never assured.
Politics: the campaigns, legislation, and means of power will now deal with the new set of rules. Campaigns must design a social network that responds to this new era. It is a new organization of management not necessarily a new social media platform. It is, as much a new way of looking at the world, as it is anything else. Our new electorate will demand dialog, authenticity, spontaneity, instant access, involvement in the process, full openness of content, and style. Someone will deliver it to them. It could be the Democratic party. The Democratic Party can evolve and adapt and be the Amazon of the new politics or it can be the AOL. AOL still had the power to destroy CNN/Time-Warner before people saw their future was a dead end. My thoughts and vision include many specifics, but it is time to end. Most people do not read longer texts than a tweet. The inevitable has come, will our party adapt to be the genius success of the future documentary or will we play the role of the nostalgic forgotten dead end?
There is no structure to our resistance to Trump – also the official party appartus doesn’t want to talk to the voters. They want them to donate and vote. The new system must involve dialog, it must relate to locality, it must inform, it must be associations of interest, it must allow the activist to be active, and the apathetic to simply vote. An infinite number of webs that interact with the whole, not isolated collections with an odd name – like raiders of the lost tambourine. Groups of purpose, identity, and friendship that communicate with whole web. They can have funny names, but the web rings would not be abandoned islands and never trolls. These groups would be the gardens of policy and law. A party that wants to appeal to the voters should directly dialog with the voters. Someone will build that party, hopefully it will be the new Democrats.

But the new reality will not allow the illusion; the times require reality and solution. It is the end of poll tested catch phrases. The young people have been born vaccinated with red pills.
