I agree. The DNC needs to hire an advertising and public relations group that understands how to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Big words, big charts are not working.

Both Dems & Reps conspired together to use the neoliberalist "Poverty as a Policy Choice" for the last 30 years. 66% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. If you work 2-3 jobs 6 or 7 days per week then you can't miss a shift to vote.
I sure hope you can get this happening…it’s essential. It won’t be long before we(even us Canadians)will be hidden from the truth of what is really happening to Americans, and according to Donald us soon to be American Canadians too!!!
A rotating cast of the best Dem communicators on a formal set daily briefing with a press release WILL get covered, especially if it starts to look like a ping pong game vs the WH

Also start trying to explain it to the American people! They need to understand it. Right now it feels like politicians talk to politicians. Like tech people to tech. It has to be broken down more. Charts used sparingly or explained. And +alt text used online.
Form a shadow cabinet! Now! Have dem representatives on defence, health, national security etc etc ready to challenge the GOP position at a minute's notice. That's what we have here in the UK. See Timothy Snyder's substack a few weeks back.
Brilliant. I was a journalist in Prague in 1992. The state news agency, CSTK, had an office in Bratislava however the journalists there were acting like it was still a communist state. So the Prague office set up a shadow CSTK news desk in Bratislava to report the real news. Let’s do it.
When will people stop clinging to the hope that if only the Democrats use the right communication tools - then MAGA voters will turn from their sadistic and simplistic natures and lean toward the light?
The problem isn't the way Democrats communicate. It's the immoral character of GOP voters.
Because history doesn't bare this out? MAGA hasn't endlessly won elections. Working class people voted for Obama in 08 - overwhelmingly - many of the people that voted for Obama voted for Trump.
It's self defeatists and just wrong to paint Trump's win as if it's something that is inevitable
I don’t say we should lay down and die. I say we should stop centering the people who actively hate us and focus our attention on people who are just less engaged. Just move on from MAGA.
True, but we shouldn't paint half the country as true Maga die hard, if that is true then we are really lost. We have to hope that messaging to issues that harm people and their day to day problems, corporations not paying enough, ect can resonate, when delivered effectivetly
They voted for him 3 times. That’s die hard MAGA. There are a nearly equal amount of non-voters. I’d much rather focus my time on introducing someone to a new concept from scratch than changing their mind.
We need to get a grip. And stop waxing philosophical. We had a choice - a criminal fascist who should have been disqualified. - And a TERM of a bright star, who isn’t trying to set the country/world on fire, isn’t hell bent on destruction and hiring idiots. Maybe we got what we deserved.

Maybe @jenpsaki.msnbc.com also get involved?

Thanks. I agree with you.
