The DNC is just a giant scam designed to be a donation magnet.

jamesinclair.bsky.social•7 days ago

It has nothing to do with individual strategists.

anything to take a shot at perceived enemies (online leftist).

obregonia.bsky.social•7 days ago

It's a real problem. Sometimes 90% of Democratic Consultants are middle class straight white women. There is no real representation at that level. Especially not class representation.

So are you saying that using "Latinx" won't solve this

stephenjudkins.bsky.social•7 days ago

neither using latinx nor not using latinx will solve this

Who went to school where isn't the problem. 50 years of the right focusing enormous effort and budget on media and persuasion - while the left and Dems didn't particularly need to (until recently) - is a much much bigger problem.

emoscientist.bsky.social•7 days ago

Do they actually have more diverse consultants and strategists? The people who talk the loudest about Democratic strategy online are all highly educated white dudes

idothethinking.bsky.social•7 days ago

And yeah, the Democrats basically losing all media influence because of the old fashioned assumption that everyone gets their news from like three TV news channels and truth will win out is now out of date. Republicans have bought TV channels and bought social media domination.

idothethinking.bsky.social•7 days ago

Democrats need to understand that groups within groups exist now and there isn't any one singular minority or non-white prominent opinion on issues pertaining to these groups.they also get their news from different places as follows general education polarization

I guarantee all of those consultants live far separated from the voters they want to court.

fffanatic06.bsky.social•6 days ago

I don't understand why you people keep pushing this line. The people complaining loudest (even in the article you linked) are those overly online college grads. The consultants closest to the Dem party are center right on issues of race. Look at anything David Shor or Matt Yglesias have written

Spanish language media in Miami - particularly talk radio and print - have been politically equivalent with the likes of OANN & Newsmax since the mid/late 90’s. It’s one of the main reasons Florida has shifted politically from swing state to republican stronghold

wowthatscoolmyguy.bsky.social•7 days ago

Do Dems like... own newspapers or radio stations or Univision? I'm generally happy to blame consultants for all of society's ills, but I think this is placing microblame on a macro failure.

"The Asian consultants were too smart and woke so they didn't buy the LA Times" doesn't resonate with me

wowthatscoolmyguy.bsky.social•7 days ago

Your entire thread reads like "Democrats need to listen to the real minorities who love cops and hate immigrants" which... Is basically the official stance of the Democratic Party already so what is gonna change?

davidjorgonson.bsky.social•7 days ago

The Democratic party has gotten blown out of every major English language news source too, just slower. They act as if control of media doesn't matter.

gauaren.bsky.social•7 days ago

but tbh even if dems were staffed by the most salt of the earth latinos you can find, they still wouldn't be putting out non-english media, as they're job is to Consult, not to do anything useful

petradeasis.bsky.social•7 days ago

It’s _every_ news source. The right has won their well-funded propaganda war against Dems, against science, against climate change.

Hillary Clinton called it the “vast right wing conspiracy” in the 90s & was derided for it. It has since metastasized.

"As if"? What makes you think they're not doing that on purpose?

4freedoms.es•7 days ago

Man, I have some opinions about how the left reaches out to those communities. Absolutely zero interest in most circles to learn anything about what resonates.

shishiqiushi.bsky.social•7 days ago

So all these ethnic groups are just fascists is your point? Not sure what the left is supposed to do with that

johnericson.me•7 days ago

Everyone is a zombie walking towards fascism until proven otherwise, maybe.

sarabjustone.bsky.social•7 days ago

No, these ethnic groups are being targeted by fascist propaganda, just like the rest of us but in their native languages.

crzwdjk.bsky.social•7 days ago

And importantly there is not much countering that propaganda in the language and the channels where they see it. And it's completely invisible to English speakers.

differentperson.bsky.social•7 days ago

the part about buying into it is user side though.

sarabjustone.bsky.social•7 days ago

As for us all

shishiqiushi.bsky.social•7 days ago

I didn't go fascist though

sarabjustone.bsky.social•7 days ago

Some will, some won’t.

They are flooding the zone and betting on enough.
