By this logic, if you live in Kansas, you shouldn’t be permitted to live in Massachusetts because it would disturb the culture of each state. These people want to control where you live, where you go, who you sleep with, what bathroom you use, everything. It’s nuts.

Vance is actually good at interviews. Most normal people will look at this and think he sounds empathetic and reasonable. Posting clips of him does nothing to help Dems win.

No offense but I trust the Pod guys over an associate professor from Wilmington college. Again, no offense. 💀

Most hip hop news accounts on X are now just straight up pro-Trump accounts. Or maybe they always were, and like certain podcasts, just slowly laundered Republicanism to audiences that weren't previously full-throated Republican.

Notice a pattern?

Trump's security clearance revocations aren't just revenge - they're a warning. The message to national security professionals is clear. Criticize a president/candidate, risk your career. That chilling effect on future dissent? That's the actual goal here.

This is why Trump resonates while Dems fall flat: Trump: Does something wildly theatrical Dems: "Well actually, according to Section 3 of the UN Convention on Geographic Names..." Marketing works. Creativity works. "Well actually" doesn't. Stop just fact-checking and start message-driving.

I am shocked there’s a dude in Nashville regularly doing this sort of incredible coverage. Kudos.

Democrats are so bad at messaging that they can’t make this message stick: this isn’t happening because they did anything wrong. It’s happening because this administration has made it clear they plan to weaponize the Oval Office against Biden’s family.

‼️ New from me: Trump and GOP thrive on chaos - in elections and governing. TikTok shutdown is perfect example: Create crisis, offer no solutions, profit from confusion. Democrats need to name this pattern/call it out. ⬇️ Read more here ⬇️ medium.com/@chris_harih...

So Trump’s gonna ‘save’ TikTok… LMAO Don’t forget who started all this. Gee, I wonder if Elon is the new buyer? Pathetic. 🙄

Dems should work with Trump and the tech community to save TikTok and find a buyer for it. Or they should let Trump and the anti-TikTok GOP faction duke it out.

Save TikTok.

What Dems have failed to recognize: People aren't eager to demonize tech CEOs. They see entrepreneurial success stories, not oligarchs (Elon Musk’s ascent is proof of that). This isn't like going after oil tycoons or Bain execs. That old playbook needs serious updating.

Fellow progressives: Please stress-test your ideas outside the bubble. Pushing for a 32-hour Congressional workweek - when people hate Congress and think it does nothing - shows zero awareness of how this lands with normie voters. This kind of tone-deaf messaging undermines all progressive goals.

There are no sacred cows in politics anymore. Every local disaster is treated as an “opportunity” to weaponize against political rivals. The GOP is tying DEI to governance failures. What’s the Democratic counter to this that doesn’t just play into their framing? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

David is right. You will be shocked to learn - shocked, I tell you - that the Dems are horrible at messaging and are even worse at messaging discipline.

submitted 146 days ago • 0 comments

This is horrific. It’s also an example of message discipline Dems simply don’t have across its politicians and surrogates.

This tweet is a perfect example of how badly Dems have lost young voters. It's a wild cocktail of MAGA talking points ("proud American") and far-left critique ("bombing children") with zero coherent center. When your message vacuum gets filled with both extremes, you've failed completely.

"America First" guy who ran on "focus at home" now wants to buy — and defend — Greenland, a place most of us couldn’t ID on a map. Dems: Skip mocking how absurd this is practically. Focus on how it betrays his core campaign promises.

Thank you to all of those who read this piece, including, maybe, Bernie Sanders? 👀

Yup. Consider this grift: After years of boosting accounts posting crime videos to hurt Biden, suddenly it's time to "reduce negativity" for Trump. Now the algorithm will reward accounts posting happy slop, instead. Not even trying to hide it. This is algo manipulation as a campaign contribution.

I mean, this is absurd but you have to give Republicans credit for message discipline. You could slip and fall and they'd find a way to blame it on Critical Race Theory.

Messaging tip for Dems on the New Orleans attack- Stop playing defense on Trump's immigration claims. Instead, use Kennedy as the perfect avatar of GOP priorities: - Performative culture war stunts - Bizarre behavior - Zero focus on real security Show voters what "fighting woke" got Louisiana.

1/ I’m not a Bernie diehard but this is smart positioning. 🧵 Dems are seen as “too pro-immigration” and at the expense of U.S. labor. That cost them the election. Trump and Musk’s full-throated support for H-1Bs gives Dems a chance to recalibrate and narratively narrow their immigration stance. 👇

TY to @kattenbarge.bsky.social for chatting! What's scary re: the Blake Lively/Justin Baldoni situation is how platforms ❤️ to boost anti-women content, no PR needed. Amber Heard was the #1 example. Lively is up there. But you see this pattern everywhere. Just opened TikTok and first video I got:

Dems are playing defense again - rushing to fact-check Trump's immigration claims on the New Orleans attack. The response should be: “While Republican officials in Texas and Louisiana were busy fighting imaginary DEI threats, they missed actual terrorist threats in their own backyards.”

New from me: The MAGA civil war over H-1B visas has exposed a sharp fault line—and presents Democrats a golden messaging opportunity on immigration. (Which they desperately need.) Click the link! 👇 medium.com/@chris_harih...

Dem message here should be: If Kennedy wasn't so focused on DEI and “going woke,” maybe he would’ve spent more time strengthening security in his own backyard. The people of Louisiana deserve better.
