Some days (more of them in recent years) I have that cynical view too, Sinjefe, and with good reason. However, on balance I agree with Sigaba's POV and he is correct that the party that can step outside of its ideological echo chamber will set the agenda.
As to John Q Public, there really is something to the notion of collective wisdom. A case in point would be a jury trial - the 12 jurors, I think on balance, get it right even when every one of them individually may be a pin-head.
The current challenge is to create a rational message that rises above the noise.
