i think the most important thing for the left to do in the next few months and years is creating our own media. the msm is hot garbage. if we keep leaning on them we will go further and further into the maga cesspool. push truthful narratives,

THIS is what we definitely need to do!! Our own blogs, podcasts and social networks, they are the future and we can make them ours! No more corporate junk!
You're correct, of course.
However, there are plenty of alternative news platforms. Not enough leverage yet. Question of money? In the UK, the mainstream media are controlled by a very few rich men.
Is your premise that if we reach more people to increase voter turnout through alternative media, a majority of them
will be left-leaning and we would win? What data is there to back that up though ?
I’m not saying it ain’t worth a try… anything is worth a try at this point OBVIOUSLY
BUT I’m pessimistic if even factual left leaning message would capture the imagination of those who did not vote in America of 2024.
No one said anything about facts leading the way. Oliver has been very explicit we need to take a page from wrestling in our messaging and use emotions to sway people like the right does. Just back it up with actual facts and truth
Absolutely we need to create our own media. It's already beginning with MTN, DK, and other sites. We need to flood the airwaves/internet with liberal thinking. 👍
I may be wrong, but in the 70s Paul Weyrich saw unions as DEM voting block and he wanted a GOP block ... he turned to evangelicals/christians. Abortion, etc. became a protestant issue and part of the bedrock of zealotry that got voters to polls. DEMs mostly win POTUS after GOP implodes economy.

America has always been more to the the right to begin with. 🤷🏻♀️
… my apologies: that’s literally my first requirement 🤷🏻♀️ ALWAYS

Journalism needs to report objective facts, otherwise the reporting is essentially propaganda like Fox, OAN, CNN, MSNBC, etc.
