The Democrats have far more than a messaging problem. They have a self-examination problem. On May 21, the Democratic National Committee released 192 pages of proof.

Therapists know that some patients can talk endlessly about their problems without ever confronting what’s keeping them stuck. They can explain fluently why their lives aren’t working: toxic people, unfair systems, bad bosses, childhood wounds.

Sometimes those explanations are valid. But eventually good therapy requires interruption.
