It’s all trash.
There are so many of those.
Overcoming the fire hydrant of lies and mis/dis-information will not be easy but it needs to be the Democrats focus.
If Americans voted solely based upon truthful, non-exaggerated facts it would be a Democrat landslide in EVERY election
If no one addresses the fact that we are in a 'Warm' War with no less that 3 countries (RU, CH, NKorea) running psyops & cyber attacks w/ the help of compliant Americans, we're chasing our tails.

But sadly I don't think a gay white male will cut the mustard.
So Gavin is it!
Rightwing media is ascendant. The narrative it pushes influences mainstream media. The center needs to take back its autonomy.

The election was proof that lies are believed easier than the truth; that many Americans are uninformed and worse… intentionally stupid.
The circular firing squad is too much to take.
Just leave it as "the RW is better at propagandizing their opponents's positions" or tarring them w positions they don't even espouse?
You can lose and still be right.
Do it w some dignity for God sake.
These people are beyond ridiculous.
I live in a swing state and talk to "everyday folks" daily. Our message aboslutely did not resonate this cycle.
We need to recalibrate. Quickly. If we just stay the course we're going to be in the minority for a generation.
They listened to Trump. And he’s hard to listen to.
Know what I hear?
"Trans migrants are raping our kids..." "WOKKKEE!!"
I ask about economic policy...
Crickets.
Lets not pretend we aren't seeing this to appease some 'populist' mindset that didn't land in 2016 or 2020
Many factors contributed, but if she'd have been a man, she'd have won the blue wall.
One of about 85 votes goes Kamala instead of Shitgibbon, she wins.
But the country is not there yet for low information voters. And that sucks.
That's why I dropped the FDR quote, he didn't just pass policy, he engaged in the rhetoric.
Truth is we lost the info and propaganda wars! Plain and simple. Democrats implement policies that help people - but we don’t win the hearts and minds! We need a new Bill Clinton
working people were “not listening to” the Democratic Party.
Because Rightwing Media operations have a bigger reach in the public sphere now. Think about it, Fox News is on almost every TV in public spaces, not MSNBC or PBS.
While exit polls show voters said they cared most about the economy, they certainly didn't vote that way.
Furthermore, the margin of victory was tiny. I'm not sure Dems need to blow everything up and start from 0.
Its within margin of error... house will be back to Dems by end of 2025 thru special elections...
Good God thank God I dont listen to MSM anymore...
Because making everything more expensive and giving tax breaks to the rich is not what working people want.
Stand by the work that Dems put in for working people, damn it!
Trump: (simulates blowjob)
Murphy: Democrats didn’t listen to working people.
The issue is that these people don’t know this (media?) or they prefer a racist, misogynistic, ignorant, elderly felon over a highly qualified, capable, knowledgeable woman.
Trump offered hated, racism & vague gibberish promises of how “beautiful” everything would be “under Trump”
It’s no mystery why they chose the proven liar & fraud over the Black lady w solid plans.
Shame on you.
Chris Murphy needs to stop the nonsense.
Were working people clamoring for Hannibal Lector updates?? Is that the part we didn't listen too?
No, the part we didn't listen to was underestimating the stupidity/racism/misogyny of the "working class".
Okay, we have to stop using multi-syllable word.
Unfortunately, a large percentage of this country has shit for brains & chose hatred & fear instead.
… and he’s wrong.
The Media was the reason why Trump won. Without the full Media Ecosystem providing 24x7 propaganda, it wouldn’t even have been close.
