The Poetry of Campaigning and the Prose of Governance. I heard A.O.C. say this the other day. The first part is eloquent the second part is pragmatic and ripe for a lot more criticism, but the work was always there. Right now we could use both from the Obama years. Not only President Obama, but his team for each term. People who woke up everyday believing democracy was a vehicle to help people. That tough problems should be stared down, critically thought through and collectively solved.
