  2. I can’t remember the Democratic Party ever speaking with a unified voice or utilizing the power of language.

  4. Isn’t Newsweek even more of a rag than it was 20 years ago?

  5. So what’s the difference? The Democratic Party only recognized her as little as possibly necessary, they will only do the least bit possible now either. There is no “two parties”. you are all just been played.

  6. Can she tell Sen. Schumer to stop tweeting idiotic stuff please

  7. A day late and a dollar short. If they had done more about messaging during Biden’s presidential successes, and trumps previous failures we wouldn’t be where we are now

  8. Telling those 70+yo politicians that they’re confused is like telling a 3yo why they can’t have 7 cups of ice cream for dinner.

  9. Dear AOC, you don’t need your party’s approval to be the voice of the party. Rise to the occasion.

  10. I haven’t heard anything except from AOC, Bernie Of course, Warren and I’ll allow 1-2 names I’m blanking on. I dont see a party. Smiling with fascists at Carter’s funeral and other events, and Mr Hakeem “God is still on the throne.” Jeffries. Great Messaging.

  12. Confused messaging? Schumer has been posting about the cost of consumer goods while Trump is driving us further and further into a full on constitutional crisis.

  13. Wouldn’t it be nice if Joe & Kamala we’re on TV EVERYDAY criticizing Trump? (Instead of dissapearing off the face of the earth) 

    Up until July, Joe genuinely thought he’d be POTUS now, and Kamala after July.

    Surely making a lot of TV appearances would be a tiny bit of work compared to the actual POTUS job they thought they’d have right now? 

  14. Dems need to stop talking about everything besides corruption and the economy.

  15. Here is a message from the technofascists that is not at all confused: https://www.vcinfodocs.com/venture-capital-extremism

    It’s time to unite against the fascists!

  16. I fear that no real change in messaging will occur until the old guard has died. They’re clearly not able to relinquish power until then…the old fucks

  17. Confused messaging? I don’t think I’ve heard any messaging from Democrats *at all* since the election other than “we’re having meetings”.

  19. Remember when “weird” stuck when Tim Walz said it? Try something like that. Don’t use political words. Use words that people remember.

  20. The dems have totally lost touch with reality. David Hogg, who just got elected as vice DNC chair, is already talking about bringing gun-control policy home, which has literally never been a popular policy to stump on, and has cost the dems legions of votes for the past 30 years.

    David, when we’re on the brink of civil war and there’s nazis literally marching in the streets, that might not be the greatest or most popular time to try to ban semi-auto rifles. Incidentally, you know who gun prohibition disenfranchises the most? BIPOC and LGBTQ+.

    The democratic party needs to be the voice of the working class, not the voice of their donor base. Talk about inflation, healthcare, and the democratic rule of law — not AR-15’s.

    Until they regain some semblance of sanity, nothing will change.

  21. Meanwhile……..

    WIRED has identified six young men—all apparently between the ages of 19 and 24, according to public databases, their online presences, and other records—who have little to no government experience and are now playing critical roles in Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) project, tasked by executive order with “modernizing Federal technology and software to maximize governmental efficiency and productivity.” The engineers all hold nebulous job titles within DOGE, and at least one appears to be working as a volunteer.

  22. Pick 3 things. Hammer them. 

    Trump picked DEI, Immigrants, and Christian Nationalism. They made EVERY issue, even a tragic air accident, relate back to one or more of those 3 things.

    Democrats and the Left have to hammer back.
    Personal Freedom: groups in identity issues, reproductive rights, and is worded effectively. 

    Workers rights: tarrifs, airline safety? Consumer confidence is tied to all of these. How will the American Household be hurt?

    National Security: without naming the buzzy r-wing names, hit hard on changes that are making us weak and foolish.

    They dont need to be these three things, but the messaging has to be consistent and unified.

    What 3 things will correct this course?

  23. How about no messaging. They should be freaking out about the active coup being done by musk

  24. We will never escape this inherently circular argument when comparing a party driven by a singular personality cult (who at the most primal level represents “victory over the other” to his base) while he is backed by a lockstep billionaire messaging apparatus.

    The entire meta argument itself is a meaningless trap. Definition of pissing politically into the wind.

    We’re not gonna have another Obama crystallizing a message as simple and broad as “change” until Trump pisses off enough low-info voters. We’re a black swan or two away from whatever catalyzes progressives post-Trump vision.

    (Unless you buy that all these maga folks are truly sleeper socialists ripe for the perfect online post to flip their class consciousness switch.)

  25. Start taking cameras into the departments that Musk is taking over and get that message OUT THERE!!
