[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yet again the Dems fell for the bait.  This is not the winnable issue.  Yes, I agree it’s unconstitutional and that is dangerous but it’s not playing well in the court of public opinion bc of the assault charges.

Focus on the mess Trump is making of the economy.  That is clear and a winnable issue.

Focus on the closure of rural health and Head Start.  So many stories from parents who rely on Head Start to highlight.

Focus on all the losses to science through the NIH and university research cuts and how this jeopardizes our status as an innovator.

Focus on grocery store prices.  Pick someone from the Midwest and have them report on their grocery bill weekly.

Focus on the oligarchy AOC/Sanders message.  Highlight the conflict of interest inherent in sending out all social security statements over X.

Focus on the poor woman kidnapped from Tufts by plain clothed ICE officers.

There is so much to chose from.  The Dems have money to do their research.  I just don’t understand how they can keep picking up winnable issues?!?[/quote]

To me, it would be unacceptable for Dems to stay quiet about illegal deportations. I'm often skeptical of slippery slope arguments, but Trump has made clear his desire to send us citizens to El Salvador and his belief he can violate the law.

This goes beyond politics. This is a fundamental human rights issue. [/quote]

Sure.  So focus on that message - that Trump has said he will send US citizens to prison in El Salvador and highlight the percentage of death row cases with innocent men.

But digging in to defend the Maryland Dad after the court docs showing claims of abuse is not a winning message in the court of public opinion.

Due process is an argument too complex.

I’m not arguing that what has been done is not horrible and an injustice but Dems need to be monitoring the front page of FoxNews to understand why Trumps approval rating is not in the 20s.

They need to think critical in about winnable messages.  [/quote]

“Due process is an argument too complex.”

Wow, people get angry when MAGA or Trump supporters get called dumb but you basically did just that.[/quote]
