When all you hearing are the same old talking points it's tune out time. Trump has always spoken as himself and people relate to him for that (Sane people realize he's batshit crazy) but it works for him / them.

Dems need to lead the resistance. ORGANIZE, PUBLICIZE, and MOBILIZE! THE HUGE amount of protest activity is being lost because it's impact is scattered. Can't compete with Trump's ability to command media because he's a single consolidated source. Here's the plan ...

Very good point.

Please don’t become corrupt. I’m so disgusted with ALL Dems in Senate. Zero are taking any real action.

@mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social So proud of & grateful for the strength of our MI Dems!

consultant-speak (eg: “gop tax scam”) needs to go immediately

mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social•4 days ago

Screaming into the void yes

informationbank.bsky.social•4 days ago

"Working families" needs to go! It EXCLUDES singles, people without children, the retired, and the unemployed which is a HUGE chunk of the voting age population.

vaabdurahmanhassan.bsky.social•4 days ago

Facts! You're spitting fire, Senator McMorrow!

ironprincessm.bsky.social•4 days ago

We can smell it a mile away and we are sick to death of it. No more bullshit. Seriously need some congress people DOING SOMETHING.

informationbank.bsky.social•4 days ago

Here's my recommended plan for the Dems. Can't get anyone interested ...

siggi5665.bsky.social•4 days ago

All true! Yet, here we are with Trump in the White House 🤷🏼‍♂️

dallen15.bsky.social•4 days ago

You are among the most well spoken and clear communicator in the country. We need you elevated into national prominence. I for one appreciate you.

mitcheemitch23.bsky.social•4 days ago

I am watching you here from Maryland and your approach is so refreshing and I love your AMA posts on Instagram. So authentic. I hope you do run for that open Senate seat. And after that, who knows?

While it's a popularity contest, it's important to not chase the popular culture to the culture's demise.

It's most important to make Public Safety more popular than AR15 sales at a gun show. Correct?

Yes, but nobody cares because AR15s have power, go *boom* and it's SO AMERICAN! #1 right in USA!

mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social•4 days ago

There’s a difference between being authentic and appealing to people by being a real person vs throwing away morals and values for popularity. And I think people can see through that too.

(Btw my first bill ever signed into law established Michigan’s red flag orders, so this one hits home)

johnlynker.com•4 days ago

If that were true, people who are pro-MAGA where "retribution" is/was the cause celeb, they are being more authentic than those wanting concessions on climate change.

Thus, machismo, amplitude of attitude, where morals are fungible (e.g. Trump rapists for Christ) wins and that's proper?

Much thanks, Senator McMorrow, for your courageous leadership in the Michigan Senate to reduce tragic gun deaths & injuries of children, women, & men across the state.

An idea...Bring in panels of teachers to review everything a candidate says or writes. If it's too hard for a 4th grader to understand, the teachers can break it down into simpler terms. They do this kind of work all the time.

zactli.bsky.social•2 days ago

Hi again. I know we talked about this before, but the more analysis we see the more we need to call for full paper ballot audits. The graph on the right was certainly not generated by a random process. Election Truth Alliance and Smart Elections both find troubling stats

I know I’m a pain in the ass. But like you I take my oath seriously and will not shut up until someone proves me wrong. Audit the swing states.

anne-in-md.bsky.social•4 days ago

PLEASE tell Dems to STOP with the messaging on the price of eggs. 😭 Literally no one cares about that right now. We need daily messaging on all platforms that convey specific stories about how lives are being affected by what Elon is doing!!

thinkyparts.bsky.social•4 days ago

I think this is a good counterpoint to that… https://bsky.app/profile/mtsw.bsky.social/post/3lihpthesr22c

theraseth.bsky.social•4 days ago

he was arguing literally the opposite last week when democrats were actually talking about egg prices though

thinkyparts.bsky.social•4 days ago

Haha. Well, he’s got it now.

theraseth.bsky.social•4 days ago

presuming he's guided by something other than "whatever the democrats are currently doing is wrong by definition"

thinkyparts.bsky.social•4 days ago

I’m not sure TBH, but on this point, I think he’s right. Talking about eggs and plane crashes I can have at the bar in my red state, fascist takeover is not… well not until the end of the night… but eggs and plane crashes are more effective at chipping away at T’s support.

informationbank.bsky.social•4 days ago

See my plan which talks about the first person stories you mention. Also need to capture the stories of remorse from Trump voters.

televisedanarchy.bsky.social•4 days ago

Hard to press the theory of "we're the working class party", when they take money from a lot of the same donors and couldn't let go of insider trading for Congress.

informationbank.bsky.social•4 days ago

It infuriates me that I went to the DNC website & the first thing you see is a request for money. The country is going up in flames & they can't seem to come up with a message except "Give us money."

To this end, if you'd ever like a look at what research and gov't funding agencies mean to students on the ground here at MSU across town, we'd love to host you on campus for a tour of game development in East Lansing!

mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social•4 days ago

Aw heck yeah I’d love that! Shoot a note to [email protected] and let’s do it

joshuahunter.bsky.social•4 days ago

Trump was treated as if he were a regular Republican politician (tax cuts for the rich, etc.). But he shouldn't have been elected is because he fomented a riot to try and stay in power.

The "sanewashing" continues as Democrats see electoral opportunity in annexing Canada.

Yesterday there were MASSIVE anti-Trump rallies across the US. This was the only post in the last 36 from the DNC's rapid response team. Meanwhile I posted an issue brief on the federal workforce to help combat Trump disinformation, misinformation, lies. https://sharonlawrence.substack.com/p/facts-figures-and-lists-the-federal

So for the time being, focus on what his nihilism and corruption are doing to the government agencies that people depend on, even if they don’t know it. And on the GOP’s utter uselessness in providing a check on him. We need to drive down the GOP’s numbers.

velikonjamg.bsky.social•4 days ago

First, NEVER wear kente cloths; looks ridiculous. Second, people blamed Biden for inflation, but Trump supporters will suddenly now show an impressive grasp of lags; it will be many months before they blame any inflation on Trump. Heck, they don’t blame him for 400,000 COVID deaths. 1/

Genuine, knowledgeable, understanding, all with a plan. Prima facie credibility.

Folks care about constitutional order. Articles I, II, III, IV, amends. 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, & 14th.

People give a shit. Tell them.

Honesty is credibility.

Love to this happening!

We are rooting for you!

dormarkrid.bsky.social•4 days ago

Important: recognize the effectiveness of propaganda, and eliminate fear terms.

Seriously.

Democrat. Liberal. Social. Trans. Feminist. All bad

Keep the position and the policy, find different words.

Use their words.

Decency means equality.
Fairness means Justice.
Kindness means humanity.

dormarkrid.bsky.social•4 days ago

Absolutely. It isn't a trick. Genuineness wins votes. Bullshit always loses.

Learn what matters, & then identify problems & solutions genuinely in a common voice.

It's okay to fuck up. Mistakes not malice & be ever accountable.

It's not that hard.

factsnotprops.bsky.social•4 days ago

💯 💯 this is one of the biggest problems b/c it makes politicians come across inauthentic and so trust is diminished. Voters are not looking for perfection. They’re looking for authenticity.

samoart.bsky.social•4 days ago

Not just leave it behind but stop the whole damn government and stop this illegal and unconstitutional behavior before Putin moves into the White House

touchstones.bsky.social•4 days ago

Unapologetic Authentic... that's your brand, and you're willing to share.

That is why I love you.

Go girl. Teach the boys to do the same.

Unapologetic Authentic
