Just saw this story on FB.

A few thoughts:

He would have handily beaten Tom Perez and Keith Ellison had he run for DNC Chair.

He is Michael Moore’s not-so-mini Me.

It is amazing how similar this 11-year old’s thought process and expression is to much older, more mature, more educated Democrat leaders like Michael Moore and Nancy Pelosi. He sounds exactly the same.

I think the reason for this is the political left dumbs down its message so much, in order to reach the “low education voters”, they basically sound like a 10-year old.

The intellectual political left—think Noam Chomsky and Bill Ayers—are basically an echo chamber unto themselves. No one wants to hear communist wonks talk about Marxism. But the emotional appeals of the mainstream political left do appeal to the mainstream. This is one huge advantage the Democrats figured out. How to effectively communicate to “the little guy” in language he could understand.

The same applies to conservatives. The majority of voters do
not want to hear right wing wonks at Heritage or Cato discuss economic or tax policy.

The only two Republicans who have been able to effectively communicate with “the little guy” were Reagan and Trump. And only Reagan could communicate conservative economic principals in a way Joe Six Pack could understand.
