The Dem communication style is INEFFECTIVE. That’s EXACTLY why they do NOT connect with the masses. PERIOD. They sound like SNOBS. Yep.
SPEAK PLAINLY.
SPEAK DIRECTLY.
SPEAK TO EVERYONE.
COME DOWN FROM YOUR HIGH HORSES.

Style doesn’t matter when you don’t support policies 70% of the public backs.
Thats not a valid complaint. They *did* this and because people like you dont pay attention, you blame them for not doing the things they are literally doing.
Ineffective communication more often is the result of not bad messaging, but of bad ideas.
Although this is what’s wrong, Dems will instead call people who point it out “fascist.” Just watch.

They’d like you to forget but the Dem donor class and their media mouthpieces ran Hillary for Prez from 2008 to 2024!!!!
Not one of them will go to the mat.
Why?
And the immediately ran from it and never returned
Speaking directly on issues in political terms is not snobbery, but there is stodginess & lack of emotional punch
But those who can still be convinced can be handled just this way. The rest is experience and persistence.
The laziest tactic for this is, of course, what Repubs do: tell stories (true or not) which frighten people.
So was it GOP success or Dem failure? In the end,Trump didn’t rise—we stumbled.
Elections aren't won-they're lost!
Step 2. Remove unanimous consent and slow everything down
Step 3. Stop going to cocktail parties with your Republican friends
They aren’t even trying
The DNC is an epic fail
This just leads to a cult of personality much like what has happened with Trump & refusal to vote in our own best interests because of optics.
An uneducated population in such a state will cannibalize itself out of misguided self-preservation & ego.
Yep.
They needa use LITTLE words, not big ones like FREEDOM or HEALTHCARE. Yep.
'Cause talkin' 'bout FREEDOM an' HEALTHCARE an' stuff like EDGACASHUN makes 'em sounds like SNOBS.
Yep.
Yep.
Yep.
I refuse to pretend to be as stupid as the Average American just to facilitate their refusal to abandon racism, xenophobia and misogyny.
Stupidity is the problem. Pretending to be stupid too is not the solution.
She wasn't really snobby, though.
What a waste of fucking time when you could just direct your energy to simply fighting fascism.
gov. waltz
The largest cohort of lost ground to Trump was high school and less educated people. And they didn’t flock to Trump, they just stopped voting mostly.
this is what it looks like when you unwittingly live in a media bubble
What if they don't?
“ BERNIE, the love of my TRUE AMERICAN LIFE” …. if you don’t understand BERNIE, you are NOT OF AMERICA.. BERNIE IS AMERICA- perfection for the people💙🙋♀️♥️
LIES not UNTRUTHS
CRUEL not UNJUSTIFIED
EVIL not ILLADVISED
DEMENTED not UNCLEAR
Talk as you would to a kid. Kids are great BS detectors. They see what IS not ILLUSIONS. If it hurts they yell. If its good they laugh. If its BS they say I dont get it.
we don't have one of those and no amount of 'plain speaking' will make up for that.
You don't have to be eloquent to have a huge impact.

I miss living in a country where being educated and speaking properly wasn’t viewed as a negative. 😔
That means that it really works...
He knows how to speak to everyone
Excellent points.
The message to counter 'They're eating the dogs' was ' No. You're wrong' and too many people instead heard 'Open the border'.
The idea that we're looking for a 'liberal' Joe Rogan is part of the problem. It's good that Dems reject lazy thinkers like Rogan and snake oil salesmen like Kennedy.
We don't have Tubervilles either.
The Dem comm style EFFECTIVELY communicates their snobbery, detachment, and disassociation with ordinary people. Thus, the disgust we feel.
Break the rules and start bending the damn laws like Republicans have gotten good at in the last 10 years. Because playing "nice" is going to keep the GOP right where they are.
That's the bottom line.
They didn't think Trump would go to the appalling lengths he's going to---part of their problem is "privilege".
Money breeds corruption on their part and bystander syndrome on ours. All it's doing is creating a sick friction of inaction.
They only way I can make sense of it is referencing John Robert's behind-the-scenes manipulation of law and governing.
I forget the name, but there's a book on Roberts and his "journey" in taking the GOP in a dictatorial direction.
Because when you have a corrupt SCOTUS. . .
Silence isn't my best trait.
Then those skills can extrapolate to other things.
I would recommend more intervention for helping people improve their understanding rather than catering to them at large.
Some people have to be more political-sounding because of their role. Others can get away with sounding more cavalier.
These MAGA asses are executing well-funded, methodical plan to dismantle everything associated with our way of life. Everything.
Power-up "Blue-Dream Teams" and let us work.
Bye-the-Bye, D. Hogg all up in it!
It’s been my long time belief they are like a prize fighter paid to take a dive
Make it look like a fight
Don’t land any punches
And go down in the third round
Which I firmly believe
B/Cthey just can’t be this incompetent
Y'all need a genuine grass roots left party in America.
Healthcare, wages, job protection, paid leave.
You know like the rest of the civilised world.
We joke about him living in the attic. Dark humour.
He's a green card holder for 30 years, married, two kids. Is worried if he leaves he won't see his family again.
Feck me USA. I mean really.
Shameful
time and time and time again those policies were on the ballot and people sat home and said meh, both sides.
'they only have high horses' is idiotic
UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE
click the link, watch the actual ad, and see for yourself what he said.

yeah they do, jackass, cause a republican court put citizens united in place and now it costs 100 million to run for a house seat.
dislike that? vote for people that want to overturn citizens united and give them enough of a majority to do it. not that deep.
same people complaining how the policies they didn't vote for aren't present
who needs a right wing media apparatus when you have these kinds of takes
Blame the people selling shit
Same old crap
Nothing changes. How about universal healthcare, 5 weeks paid leave, tax the rich, end citizens united, and AIPAC
Sell hope not exploitation
Just a thought
this has been happening in the US since the 50s, then in the 80s w/ fox it went 2x, and then in the 2000s with social media it went x10
Dems lost in '00 by 50 votes, '16 by 1/10th of a 1% of the votes and 24 by 2/10ths...all despite near right wing control of every source of mainstream information.
'selling shit' - tfw are you on about
America doesn't have healthcare.
People die because they can't afford it.
Your holiday allowance is a joke. Most countries get 5 weeks a year plus paid maternity/paternity leave.
Take your blinkers off.
The right to self determination is everything.
You are sleepwalking to oblivion and your privilege can't see it.
It's heartbreaking
I know where it ends
Violence
You Dems need to step up off your sofas
But even if we have to go to White Paper protests, I'll continue protesting and contacting my members of congress.
Just work.
But smarten up their ideas.
Bernie gets a 25% crossover vote when he runs for Congress as an independent.
They both speak the truth as they see it and they speak passionately from the heart.
They speak carefully and, well, politically, thinking that their statements are so well crafted that they convey everything that needs to be said elegantly.
No new cares anymore.
Most americans have no idea what the dems are saying because they never follow through on anything, so no one cares enough to put in the effort to understand them.
1. Consultant-driven uncanny valley feel (Newsom)
2. Grinding gears to not offend any distinct group (Harris)
3. Lawyerly (see all the lawyers)
4. Think they are Obama orators (they aren't Obama)
lol, Bernie at times can do it, although other times he sounds like an ass.
Bullshit!
