All these articles about Democrats moaning over their messaging issues make me tired.
You know what's more important than messaging? ACTION.
Don't TALK about the price of eggs.
Tell people "MEET US IN THE PARK - WE'RE GIVING OUT FREE EGGS. THAT'S RIGHT - FREE EGGS FROM THE DEMOCRATS!"

I just copied and pasted this to my Rep. and Senators. I'll also be calling their offices with the same message.

Please share. The grassroots campaign needs help with voter registration for the upcoming special election there. 2 seats are up for grabs. #takebackthehouse
You’re welcome for the idea, @schumer.senate.gov
Stunts are even more valuable in the social media era.
If the Democrats sent me a fundraising email saying "Hey, Trump sucks and we, the Democrats, are gonna give people free eggs - wanna donate $50?"
I'd donate fifty damn dollars.
MAKE A DAMN DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE'S LIVES.
Jfc they need to stop whining
Asking since, the way things are going, literal eggs might be unviable.
That's, like, interacting with the people outside of focus groups.
They're not a serious political party.
JUST HELP PEOPLE, YOU LOSERS. NO MATTER WHAT. AND TAKE CREDIT.

And as you note, Biden promised a BIGGER check, and then reduced the size. So in lots of people's minds, TRUMP seemed like the bigger benefactor.
What? This is completely false. I never discussed the amount of the checks. Congress (not Biden) wrote CARES. Manchin (not Biden) demanded needs testing
One would have to be really determined to read bad intentions or condescension into that
I remember Robert Byrd used to get every f'ing thing in West Virginia to support some bills.
But he's just WHINING -- not FIXING.
"Well, he's out of power," folks say.
WHO CARES? Spend some money and give out some damn eggs!
Don't expect them to suddenly do the work of NGOs. We already have NGOs, it's hard work and Schumer is unlikely to be good at it unless he only wants the PR.
if chuck schumer *really* can’t think of anything to do right now, give me his damn job.
i got a long list of things that will make the next 4 years really annoying for republicans.
Your opp is raising the price of eggs? Hand out free eggs.
It's the original Cory Booker thing. Somebody complains about the snow? Go shovel his snow and take the credit for it.
Literally said something similar today.

I am a Christian. I am a Democrat. (In that order, but those 2 ideologies have become more synonymous during my lifetime).
You have nailed it. THIS is true Christianity.
Democrats being a joke aside, I love your thread. Would be great.
They could easily fund some visible community aid out of their own pockets, but they (shock! horror!) might have to skip on a few fancy dinner dates.
This would make a lot more sense if they hadn't. They did.
And, you know, maybe they couldn't get a majority for it under a different name, but they could have rebranded it AFTER THE FACT.
Except then you support a genocide and they don't think you did anything good for them and JUST DON'T VOTE and you lose to Donald Trump and a couch fucker.
Sorry for venting in your mentions.
They should be publicly demand the arrests of the Felons in Chief instead of asking us for $50
I see your point, I’ve thought this before as well.
They need to get the hell out of their ivory towers and make a real difference instead of playing megaphone on social media.
Can't take a party of "ideals" seriously when they spend all damn day hollering at the people to do their job for them. The hell are they being paid to do?

If you do get it back but you don’t change politics (money, tolerance paradox etc), you won’t keep it long
They need to get their house in order

They've done so much to make it functionally illegal to meaningfully help anyone that this would be genuinely shocking.
Show don't tell
Lazy, uncreative cowards.
The opposition party did not.
Remember, trump can decide whats a charity and what isnt.
