(4,104 posts)39. We don't need to attract Magas....
We need to reach the young people, new voters and Dems that feel abandoned by the Dem leadership not standing up and fighting. We also need a media channel that stands with the Democratic message. The last five years everybody ate everything TSF served up and tried to make the Dems justify their position at every turn. They projected Trumps age and dementia on to Biden and we let them. The last two months Biden has been hitting it out of the park .with zero credit or thanks. When Hillary ran against T it was the same story. We need to own the message instead of responding to baloney! We need to fight back. I say we but frankly I dont think I have another four years in me. The last twelve years of this guy have taken their toll.

I'm lucky that when I get angry, I get deadly calm instead of losing it.

Dont dumbdown. Expose all the GOP lies for what they are. Throw the lies back in the liars face.

The Democrats needed to fight against the propaganda that kept going up and up.

Your words are very true. As you well know, many elections are won by 2-3 percent and less.

No, but it is a strategy, especially against the darkness that tsf represents.

totally agree. There is nothing wrong with Dem values, and I will never apologize for them. Kamala/ Walz rocked it.
