"I spent past year and a half with The Lincoln Project... There, I learned some of the hard-line messaging tactics R's have used for decades to defeat Dems. R's know how to define opponents early, sharply, and relentlessly—exactly what Dems need to do."

The case for Democrats to start holding televised, primetime opposition hearings featuring civil servants fired by Trump & Musk, Americans hurt by baseless cuts, and scholars on authoritarian regimes.

Throw red meat at an angry audience.
No viable solutions just, turning anger into energy then into legislation and or votes.
You didn't learn messaging, you learned organized grifting.
Why do you care now?
Money!
If Lincoln Project understands what the Rs are doing to undermine elections, why aren't you working WITH dems to fight back against it?
Seriously, come to NC and help us defeat the feckless Thom Tillis in the midterms. PLEASE
Charles Bronson reference of Hardtimes

Garland/Mueller
Schumer/Pelosi

Anybody w faith in norms. Or afraid of them
Rs will only fuck you
Get leaders not ready for nursing homes
#AOC #Jeffries #Schumer #Gillibrand
Grieving is important
Honoring their individual pain too
MOVING public sentiment has to be about the loss to OTHERS to all of us
ONLY THEY can SHOW what we are losing to R’s
Top Down + Grassroots approaching to getting the word out
Wanna teach those on the right? Put messages in commercial ad form; they won't pay att'n to anything lengthy.

Rick has been in the trenches of more-or-less official Republican war rooms, and hence, I think, overrates the value of "focus" and "message discipline".
Trump's campaigns got focused later in the cycle. They led off with aggressive, scattershot, experimental slander.
Democrats, on the other hand, are terrified of "experimenting".
That is bad, especially in a lightning-fast, online, social-media-dominated political sphere.
IMO, that's loser talk. The whole party needs to simply be less cautious, less timid, more aggressive.
Don't worry about "oh, what will voters in this/that/the other Senate state think", or "does this involve the price of groceries?". Voters can smell that worry, that fake calm, a mile away.
Speak out on behalf of all of them. Worry about "discipline" later.
Also Democrats hold a presser
At least once a week
Have a weekly brief call it
'That was the week that was'
& point out all the Horrific things
TRUMP & Elon have done &
How the House & Senate
GOP have gone along
Personally I'd like
Jasmine Crockett 2 be the
Spokesperson 😊
