I've noticed some posts complaining about our message

Let me repeat: THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH OUR MESSAGE!!!

There is something wrong with the RW controlling the narrative, manipulating it to make everything Democratic look bad. It is that narrative we need to change, not the substance of our message.

Tether that chicken!

It was a weekly, if not daily, reminder that we need to resume control over the narrative...at least our side of it.

3. They should attack Trump/GOP with at least the same outrage they had when they went after Franken.

Why aren't several of our dem congress people down at that Brownsville Walmart raising hell about the children we are storing there? One senator has been there & he was very nice & polite about it. What the fuck is there to be polite about? We are separating children from their parents & now we are talking about creating tent cities for said children. This is no time to be polite. The party of family values needs to be called out for the sham that they are & shamed for their complicity in this travesty.

Like it or not, believe it or not, the dems are perceived as weak & their politeness does them no favors.

4. That is not the message. That is the manner in which we convey the message

I agree that, if we ever want to regain control of the narrative, we need to start speaking up... yelling from the rooftops if that's what it takes.

But the content of our message must remain constant. That part is critical. We can't be seen as inconsistent.
