No, but you do have to accept some truths that rub hard against the liberal ethos:
1. Most people are civically illiterate.
2. Bc they are illiterate propaganda works
3. You can’t beat a propaganda campaign using normal “comms” strategy.
4. Yes, I’m mean but I’ll win shit.

Did not work most recent go around.
Those who voted based on their "feelings" are about to feel something far more tangible—the real consequences of electing Trump.
In addition, Dems need to stop being so passive. Excuse me, I think I’m a little pissed off today. 🤦🏽♀️
we could tell every relative to watch it before or if they want to talk politics

In Texas public schools they are going with "What would Jesus do?" now.😂
when Bannon has had 4 years of weekly Zoom USA giving instructions to locals about taking over school boards, local everything.
If she's right, then we'll never get anywhere so long as the Dems run on everything (pro democracy, pro equality) but "class warfare".
I feel like I'm going BlueANON.
This was a major flaw of the Harris campaign.
Corporate Democrats need to realize this isn't the 1970s.
The Fairness Doctrine wouldn't matter.
And you can't complain about the Left's comm strategy, when they have no comms to speak of.
Nothing more aggravating to middle Americans battling high bills than aloof lib pols not explaining what they are doing to help.
DEMS needed to listen hire @therickwilson.bsky.social @stuartpstevens.bsky.social !!!
Against fascism, kindness & compromise are suicide.
Unfortunately, this is the legacy of Biden.
He was an appeaser when the USA needed a warrior.
We didn't need a strongman leader. We needed a leader that wouldn't protect Trump's white privilege.
You know what Republicans never broadcast, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
Their disdain for their party’s leader.
Democrats need to criticize their leaders because that is a core principle of democracy. Unfortunately, Democrats have been corporatized & domesticated to much for their own good.
It's easy to use metaphors, but harder to translate into political action.
They will be wealthy & connected regardless.
The Clinton or Obama wealth survives Trump.
The working class may not.
This has been the lesson of the last 50 years in the USA.
Even when they win, Democrats surrender to Republicans.
Republicans only believe in the Will to Power
They know that the Rule of Law has always been the reality of violence.
The push-pull is very well explained
And be careful of insulting 4th graders too
When we can market education and intellect as cool, that's when things can change. Right now, folks love to be willfully ignorant. The death of expertise.
Teaching how statistics, emotions, and status/celebrity can be used to manipulate your spending habits led to some good conversations about information manipulation in general.
We are now a nation that seems to celebrate its ignorance and mediocrity, and demonizes intelligence as being elite.
It started in earnest with Reagan, the modern era destruction of the working class & the most vulnerable.
That monster let the wealthy get away with paying far less than their fair share.
The more wealthy you are, the more you should pay. period.
He caused damage during his presiden
That is Ronald Reagan's true legacy.
Effete elitists don’t even realize when they are being condescending. Obama and Bill Clinton were better at faking empathy but the backlash once they are revealed is brutal. Hillary & Harris didn’t even try.
Policies vs marketing ain't the problem
covid/emergency response vs 1 million dead. show contrasts
democracy vs fascism (24/7 vids of him encouraging
violence, the massacres he caused; jan 6 terrorism vs stability
protect women vs funerals/families who lost wives/moms
Like rats on cocaine hitting the lever again and again, looking for their fix. It's addictive.
Harris lost because Trump's propaganda (marketing) was stronger than ours. Harris didn't counter his campaign of fear. Too much joy & not enough exposing him for the criminal sociopath he is. She ran on policy & lost. She needed to savage
"When they go low, WE NEED TO ABSOLUTELY F*KING DESTROY THEM". That is the lesson the DCCC & DSCC elites & consultants NEVER LEARNED & REFUSED TO LEARN when people like Dr. @rachelbitecofer.bsky.social warned them. I hope future campaigns are paying attention.
Blue MAGA
Creating a new patriotism (propaganda (communications)) just depends on political will.
Too far right in this context.
If someone gets upset, tough shit.
You can never please everyone. So don't bother use facts. Trump posts a video post the actual truth call his lies out that's how they should have done it go for the jugular.
My granny 👵 said, "Don't argue with a fool. If people walk in the room, they will just think you are both stinking fools! She lived to be 116 years old.
little relationship between intelligence an goodness
very strong tendency to believe those who are saying what you wish to be true
US in a politically dangerous situation where there are no good (sets of) answers unless you threaten the ruling class
The trick is how do you talk to those people without them sticking their fingers in their ears saying "I don't care about politics la la la"?
"You should. It's barely less important than your own heart beat.”

In a few months, Liberal won't even have THAT speaking truth to power.
Dems are no where near Raygun
That’s beyond ridiculous
Anger motivates people more than anything else because anger and fear are primal emotions related to protecting the herd.
Perhaps high prices, shortages, and job loss will give something to "hold on to".
stop focusing on how you can get a fraction of a percent of the neocon warhawks to vote for you and start figuring out why the plurality doesnt vote
hint: it may have something to do with actual policy proposals
Some ignorance, apathy, lack of excitement not seeing how lives improved.
Anything that smells of Nazi is banned in Germany
I miss the times when I was younger and it was obvious that people who claimed girls/women can't compete with boys/men were sexist.
I always fought back against gender segregation & was a proud feminist long before I came out as trans/nb.
...all bc he promised them he'd use his machismo strongman attitude to be a good male chauvinist and keep women "safe?"
I call BS.
@newrepublic.com why don't these messages work with black people in general and least of all black women?
Maybe it's due to history but there might be some kernel of knowledge they have that could be used by liberal media.
I do think the purchase of the other place was intentional after Biden's win bc we had too strong of a presence there.
We just need to counter THEIR lies with brutal truth that reveals them for the heartless psycho/sociopaths they are.
This makes it easy to push narratives that aren’t based in reality since most people are focused on their immediate reality and not the surrounding world.
Educated people believe they’re too smart to fall for it. They aren’t. None of us are.
Will the modern Democratic party EVER "welcome the hatred" of the billionaires again?
Is there a Dem donor conspiracy? Am I going BuleANON?
That indicates to me that the old Dem party is compromised and will NEVER run on "class warfare"? Thoughts?
Anything you say is met with it's "fake news" reply.
If you could reason with a trump supporter, there wouldn't be any trump supporters. 🤔🤔
