    Sure, and I can believe it, but the rhetoric is not so well targeted or scoped.

    “we move away from car-[dependence], though.”

    Is not going to be seen with the implied nuance by a large chunk of potential audience, and as stated may create opponents out of folks that really wouldn’t care at all either way.

      We shouldn’t change our statement if they wouldn’t care at all either way.

        They wouldn’t care if they knew you only were talking about cities they don’t go to.

        But they do care and fight you because they think you mean their life. This means they vote against your interests because they think their interests are threatened, even if they aren’t.
