Democratic politicians continually elevate leaders who say "The key to victory is... doing less. Staying out of sight. Not taking every swing. Ignoring more stuff." because that is what many Dem politicians want. They are consultant-brained honor roll students who want homework, not a fight.

That, and a complete underestimation of the extent to which Media of every sort has been captured & used against Dems.

Local elections are happening all the time and can be won with a few hundred votes. Let the protests be a catalyst to getting a new generation of people into power.
The fight and “fuck you, make me” attitude we need is really only found in punks and punk adjacent communities, in my experience.
We need a war time consiglieri. We need an army of them.
And yet they think the answer is not to emulate that and be louder but to be quieter and more focussed?

that the HBO legal team think its their job to make sure he doesn't get sued,
whereas he thinks it's their job to make sure that when he gets sued, HE WINS.
whereas a correct modern media strategy is 'when you DO provoke a controversy, make sure its on terms and in a framing where you'll win' *
*(and the median voter will naturally to side with you).
And spoons, à la Alan Rickman's Sheriff of Nottingham. 🥄❤️🩹
