I do appreciate your courage in starting your new gig. Can we find a way to cover Trump BS without trashing or name calling the Dems? I know the Rs depend on us doing that so voters always believe Dems are the problem.

They should hire the Harris campaign social media team. Many Dems are just too entrenched to understand how to communicate beyond the beltway (Schumer, for example). Need more of the likes of Raskin, Buttigieg, Newsom, AOC, Pressley.

Legislators and former cabinet members should form a shadow cabinet to provide real examples of how Dem governance is different from the shitshow.

Also, party leadership needs to stop asking for donations and form volunteer task forces to fill food banks and stuff. Do the real work to gain trust.

This is excellent, thank you!

I wonder how the Americans on minimum salary and zero hours contracts are doing?

docpolitx.bsky.social•23 days ago

You're welcome to ask them, but I think they're still blaming Biden.

Their lives don’t change, no matter who occupies the Oval Office.

They can also purge any variants of "bipartisan" from their vocabulary. They can bring the Senate to an effective halt by rejecting unanimous consent. They can bring suits against 47's executive orders, every one, every time, in friendly courts to slow things down. They are the resistance now.

👍 “Second, neglecting persuadable voters. Democrats must show up on podcasts, YouTube, TikTok, and even Fox News. Democrats must engage with the mass of rational voters who may be uninformed but at least not brainwashed by disinformation.”

Challenge them for veriabkensoirces for their statements. Refuse to accept anything as true - “most probably a lie” until verifiable proof is provided.

Counter the BS firehose.

Reps are dangerous and Dems are spineless. Schumer will just whine about the issues and never get anything remedied. It’s just heartbreaking to watch the country’s demise in real time.

People need information that's easily accessible let's mobilize them at their level...please.

This should be a people of America, thing not what can dems do. If only a few actual old school republicans stand up, we can do this together.

Great. Now, distill this down from about 7 pages to, say, 5 sentences? Or, even 2 sentences for each of the five suggestions? George Lakoff could. His work was all over the Harris campaign starting with the convention, until she gradually got put back into DNC’s special protective packaging…

Thank you for the practical suggestions.

Has Trump issued ONE EO to actually do something positive for Americans? ONE?

purple-plants.bsky.social•23 days ago

@foushee.house.gov Please read this and pass it along to the other NC reps.

mslowins954.bsky.social•23 days ago

hoping they follow your sound advice

translisa.bsky.social•23 days ago

And they will do nothing. Because they are afraid and useless.

nina-06.bsky.social•23 days ago

Thank you. It’s a start

None of the nominees are even remotely qualified. That is why they were selected. Loyalty to TFG is the only criteria. This is just another worthless list that says nothing new, filled with vague generalizations. Do better.
