[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Big tent party so there are more diverse people and views to appeal to.
2. Dems are aware that reality is complex and way beyond simplistic sound bites.
3. Thoughtful pragmatic policies are harder to condense that black and white hate mongering.

Dems do need better communicators getting the message across about inclusive democracy may be messy but it sure beats authoritarian dictatorships which is where we were heading under Trump.[/quote]

I believe this is all true - and our side is really just awful at messaging and comms.

"It's the economy stupid" - that was smart advice. Our side is terrible at message discipline, among other things.

Sure some of it is because we're a big tent party. We're heterodox. Some of our side's best communicators - like AOC, yes AOC - aren't pushing for what normie Dems want. She's on the side of the far left of the party. Which is tricky for a couple of reasons - it means that she's not pushing out the centrist Dem messages and also many people take what she's saying as representative of the whole party (or cynically say so).

I think Rs are better at message discipline, and also have a well funded, widely-viewed media company in the tank for them. We have MSNBC but they reach a more fractured audience.

In short: we really need to recruit some better communicators to be the spokespeople for our party. Yes. But no I don't think it's because Rs hire professionals and Ds are amateurs. Ds hire professionals, too, they just aren't doing as good a job for a variety of reasons.[/quote]
