Agree with Jen on laying out our values and I think that is so important. We also need to stop assuming people read and consuming info like we are. Many are just clueless no shade but it’s true.

With that kind of group the starting point is positive enforcement.Taking away from them what they’ve been told & believe, that they are stupid.If you notice Trump refers to them as barely human.identifying their humanity (everyone has at least 1) opens them to self worth & to dare to believe.
Seems hose who read and actively seek information are the minority. Booths at flea markets, booths at social gathering events may grab more interaction. Less efficient but maybe more productive
Just after the election I was talking to someone who claimed Harris never really explained what she wanted to as president(!). It wasn’t going to help saying anything to him at that moment as I realized he wasn’t about to read 82 pages of policy online just as he hadn’t watched her speeches.
I got the impression Harris’ team was working in that direction but that they really didn’t have the time to ramp up fully and to transition from the infrastructure left from Biden’s campaign. Nor did they have time to get buy-in for a complete reimagining of campaigning. They were headed there tho.
1/2 Absolutely true! I've always said what awful marketers the Dems are! A) The message must be a headline - because most won't read. B) People act out of fear. You must scare them into action. C) People believe what they see and hear the most (remember "weapons of mass destruction")
2/2 D) You cannot educate someone who is brainwashed.
The War for Freedom will require massive dollars, shrewdness, action. The fascists will fight will all their might. Only if they think society will implode on them, destroying their wealth will they step back for people to have something.
The support for Trump was static for all 3 elections. The difference between winning and losing was purely Democratic turnout. The good news is the ppl you are trying reach are not the low information voters who consume disinformation. Stop chasing the white whale.
Now that the Democrats are the opposition party they should act like it. What the hell Chuck Schumer why are you quitting at 5 when we need every judge that can be confirmed?
People are going to be so shocked when they find out people don't watch the policy videos either. No podcast, policy video, dumbed down speech, Rogan, none of that won this election for Trump. You can't talk or advertise your way out of people not wanting to support a black woman.
Had a local fruit stand operator just around the corner from my house, he has been there for years, kept saying with confidence Trump would win because he knew people were against a woman and a black woman. He even cast doubt that a woman has the brains to run America. Not even joking.
You can't message better to people with those views. You then had people in our own black communities who were just haters and didn't want to see her win as a black woman. Many black men and women wanted her to fail. I encountered many. My view was we would overcome them anyway. We didn't.
While VP Harris won the overwhelming majority of black female and black male support, it's obvious that too many crossed over to the other side to vote for Donald Trump. Even so, I still have a strong belief that election crimes and voter fraud are the true secrets to Trump's victory.
He got busted engaging in crimes designed to steal the election in 2020. He has done all of the most unthinkable crimes in his pursuit of power. Cheating in vote counting and votes cast is not beyond Donald Trump and his people. They've proven they'll do anything.
Many things Biden adm was accomplishing even with the congress they had and many people didn't have a clue.
The campaign should have been prepared for the question about her differences to Biden, where she should have shown the receipts and where they had differences.
Dems are too cautious.
Lots of folks just getting mainstream media headlines, convos with friends, podcast and YouTube diet. They feel informed but haven’t done the work to vet anything
