NP You have to be honest or messaging is horrible. Just look at the fact that Republicans get people to vote against their own interest with ease and regularity, that in and of itself proves the point. Then you add the fact that we can't even get people to show up and vote in their own interest consistently. They have their scandals but the Lincoln project had some of the best messaging during the 2020 election. I mean Stacy Abrams gets MVP, but the Lincoln project definitely gets honorable mention. |

The left struggles with marketing because the right has the massive advantage of just being able to make everything up wholesale and telling the largely uninformed masses that some imaginary boogeyman is coming to get them unless they vote Republican is exponentially easier than trying to make those masses understand the often complex truth.
See Critical Race Theory for the perfect example of this: GOP: "Schools are trying to teach your kids to hate themselves for being white, and they're trying to take away parents' ability to have input on curriculum." Masses: "OMG that's terrifying!" Dems: "Well actually, CRT is an advanced theory that is not being taught directly in primary education, though there are certain concepts stemming from CRT that may lead to changes in curriculum to more accurately reflect the historical experiences of POC. And while school boards have in fact been making changes to reduce the impact of parents who have literally no idea what they are talking about trying to change curriculum to reflect whatever they saw on FOX news last night, they are not discounting the input of parents wholesale." Masses: "Huh? Were you still talking? I tuned out after 'well, actually.'" |

No wonder Trump loves the uneducated. |
I agree. And the power of having a de facto propaganda arm in Fox News is unbeatable. Period. |
Serious problems require serious solutions, not monosyllabic catch phrases |
Better save now for your authoritarian dystopia - ask the Russians and Formerly wealthy and free Hong Kong Chinese how much they enjoy living with zero dissent tolerated. USvhas the highest incarceration rate in the world, and the highest rate of violence in the developed world. As for your contention that âthe majority of Black people and the poor donât even get degreesâ - well, neither do the majority of whites (36%). However, 56% of Asians and South Pacific Islanders have degrees. Black (25%) and Hispanics (18%) will likely catch up when democratic policies investing in education and health allow. |
I was going to write up a line-by-line rebuttal, but there's really no topping this. |
| Crap smells bad. You can call it ice cream or pudding and put whipped cream on it and even give it away free. But crap is crap. Democrats have a crap problem. Their platform is crap. |

What can a professional marketing team help with things like 'Defund the police!' or 'Abolish ICE!'?
You can only polish a leftist turd so much. It's still a turd. |
Zing! I know. As you have already written, nothing I describe is real because it doesnât affect you personally. So, time to insult my intelligence, even though you are the one too foolish to comprehend that your condescension and solipsism are undermining support for your ideas. I hope you stay exactly as you are. The backlash is here and I wouldnât want you and your kind turning things around before we can vote you into irrelevance first in November 2022 and then in 2024. Keep calling the rest of us stupid because we wonât let you define our priorities according to your preferences. Youâre going to cry harder than you did when Hillary lost. |
Is this supposed to refute my point that student loan forgiveness is inherently NOT progressive because it is a wealth transfer to an advantaged, primarily upper middle class population? How is paying off the debts of a minority of voters who are mostly going to be much better off than the average American remotely progressive? Think critically. And I sincerely hope you have read up on how the US became a prison state. Try Michelle Alexanderâs excellent work or just Google. Both Republicans and Democrats betrayed poor, Black voters to build the system of mass incarceration we have today. Highlighting mass incarceration does not make the case for Democrats that you think it does. |
FYI- you are responding to several different posters here. Totally understandable, because they havenât differentiated themselves. But go right ahead⌠your vote will hurt you more than me. Iâm rich and white. |
What an ally!! Scratch a progressive, find a racist. It never fails that when a person of color argues with you people, the hood slips on quickly. Why in the world wouldnât I let someone who throws white, wealthy privilege in my face set my priorities for me? What an ally! Fortunately, since youâre wealthy and white, Iâm sure you wonât mind your conservative white relatives taking another turn in power. Itâs precisely because people like you have no stake in the outcome that you behave the way you do and do not hesitate to alienate the Democratic party from its base. You splinter the base with your petty, lunatic issues like how men in dresses are the new oppressed minority and then you sit back knowing youâre fine regardless. Disgusting. |
You donât know anything about me or my politics. I never said I was progressive. Is it racist that Iâm white or that Iâm rich? Boy I thought only LWNJâs threw around the ârâ word without reason, but I guess not. You seem very comfortable puking it up. I voted against my personal self interest in the last election. Skin in the game? Bâ- please. My family finally came into millions last year, and I voted for Biden. Even though it meant a potentially HUGE tax hike. So go ahead. Make me richer. My kid will be able to live in the nicest, safest, cleanest place. Go ahead and vote for the party that doesnât believe in climate change. Go ahead and vote for the party that wants to suppress the oppositionâs vote. Go ahead and vote for the party that wants to criminalize womenâs choices. Go for it. If my kid gets knocked up, weâll take a lovely European vacation. Your vote wonât hurt me. Slap away. You keep slapping me into a higher income bracket. |
