    Democrats saying nothing will fundamentally change is not reaching these people, and just calling them dumb and discarding them isn’t a winning strategy.

    How are Democrats supposed to reach these people? They seem to think Biden had a big button labeled “inflation” that he pushed. Everything the Democrats did do to try address things like this were played down and/or didn’t even reach them since the corporate media was not passing that along. Other things were straight up knee-capped by the qons, like loan forgiveness.

    How can the Democrats get any messaging out at all, when they are up against hate radio, Sinclair, Faux, bros in podcasting, bros running the algorithms, and so on?

      Maybe if the messaging was more radical, the actions were grand enough, and the spokespeople charismatic enough it won’t matter.

      But none of those will happen so I guess we’re having fascism. Radical messaging “scares voters.” Big actions “aren’t feasible.” And the spokespeople have no rizz.
