      I think in a democracy it's important for political leaders to be honest about shared sacrifices and difficulties -- and in the long run this honesty will make change more likely.

          I don't think there's a general principle here. Sometimes one is more effective than the other, it depends on the prospects for short term action vs. long-term education.

          Isn’t that in part due to electoral college? Saying super popular things that are only marginally popular in swing states creates risk.

          What's the historical template for this? FDR on the New Deal? FDR on WWII is the Matt approach.

          There are ways of saying it though. Hillary saying coal miners were fucked was true in so many ways but maaaaaaybe she could have couched it a bit better
