Add my "what went wrong" take to the pile

88. It makes a bit of sense for first time voters under 25

The COVID-19 pandemic stole a year or two of high school and/or college and the associated activities and experiences from them. There was a ton of revisionist history (a/k/a disinformation) being pumped out that it was Democratic governors ordering lockdowns totally on their own and completely ignoring that it was the Trump administration providing that guidance in the first place.

So, if you've bought into those "alternative facts" you already hold animosity toward the incumbent party and there was no effort being made to combat this.

This post-fact world is the one we are living it and the press isn't going to save us. They're going to keep point-counterpointing to avoid truthfulness judgements and focus on the process stories and palace intrigue. So Democrats need to be better at getting their message out through new media outlets.

And you know what? Constantly attack the press when they don't do a good job. Quite frankly, working the refs works.
