Dark Money, mumblings about being somewhat better than the GOPers, no message, no plans, no stands, no speaking back to the Constant RW attacks, and a constant vacuous reliance on getting out the voters thru a supposed superior Inet presence, and a banal faith in future demographic trends -- all this is in reality a billboard that says:
