"..they simply soft peddled it or outright ignored success after success allowing the MAGA counter messaging to fill the void. A vacuum cannot exist in nature and when truth is ignored untruth will easily fill the gap. It did and we are all worse for it."

Ppl keep blaming “Dem messaging.” You can msg allll day - if no one picks it up, it doesn’t matter.
This falls squarely on the heads of execs & producers of broadcast & print media. SM is its own problem
Trump lied and continues to lie.
They bring on people who lie for trump and continue to do so without pushback and then allow them to come back and do it again.
They're more concerned about ratings and money than they are about truth.
And also Andrea Mitchell & Katy Tur from MSNBC
All media wanted trump back so they downplayed trumps criminality and ridiculed Democrats success after success.
Democratic consumers MUST abandon trump-enabling press and promote democratic-supporting press, JUST LIKE DEMOCRATS VOTED FOR KAMALA HARRIS on Election Day.
They were afraid to tell the viewers the President lied to them. So it became normalized
Step 2 is -- stop complaining and start fixing it.
So I appreciate your approach.
this has been a GOP and now Maga-gop tactic for decades.... all they way back to the 90's and the gop squealing about the liberal press....
Its the media stupid
Dems must reclaim the Media. Dems lost the media 8 years ago. The Media flourished by normalizing & promoting MAGAt messaging on lunatic rightwing media AND mainstream networks. Dems must fix this. Immediately.
In general, it is broadly recog- nized that conflict is not just armed violence; it may also include tactics like psychological manipulation, economic exploitation, and the use of graft, subver- sion .
I mean, before that, before science, empiricism and all that, the Church basically manufactured truth. The church was a truth factory and had a habit of literally burning the competition
Despite the claims otherwise, Biden DID emphasize that he knew too many were still struggling and yet our own ignored that part, calling him out of touch instead.
The FCC screwed us.
