I love learning and thinking and sharing in what other people are learning and thinking about, and this is such a wonderful opportunity to get to do just that.

we can’t even do solid military industrial complex propaganda stunts in this country without some idiot putting Fortunate Son on the set list

Well sure but wrapping yourself in the flag while you do it comes off as disingenuous to people who associate you with the opposition to the group who mostly do that

But I think that's exactly what's happening with the flag stuff - it's an attempt to re-appropriate a symbol that the Right has staked out an aesthetic claim to (in the minds of the median voter) which seems to me an utterly unnecessary uphill battle

I get the impulse to be like "well we're gonna do this and other things" but the issue is that the Dems are not really doing other things, and the ones who do (like Padilla) are mostly being used for viral social media clips or being treated like they've gone incomprehensibly rogue

Sure - but voters just straightforwardly do not associate the left with nationalist patriotism and it's repeatedly proven to be a really useless strategy to pursue
comment in response to

Voters simply will not believe that the Left are ~more patriotic~ than the Right because that is the Right's whole entire brand, which they have been building for the better part of the past century! It's a losing strategy!
